We had leftover steamed rice from an order of Chinese takeout. I didn't want to throw the rice away, so I decided to make a kind of rice pudding. It's not as creamy as the real thing, but it serves in a pinch as a dessert or breakfast.
Ingredients:
1-2 cups pre-cooked white rice
1-2 cups milk or other dairy
3 tbs maple syrup
1 tsp cinnamon
a handful of sultanas or raisins
Directions:
Place all ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Declump the rice with a wooden spoon. Reduce heat and let the milk absorb into the rice. You may need to add additional milk until the rice is at the right consistency for your taste.

Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp
I decided I wanted to explore the world of strawberry rhubarb at home as I was grocery shopping by myself the other day. Inspiration in lightning form, strikes again!
I found a really easy recipe online for a crumble on the cookie + kate blog. I immediately made it just a few minutes plus baking time.
I made several modifications to the recipe:
The result was too little filling in proportion to the topping, but it was delicious nonetheless, more like a thin line of filling a la chewy bar.
Heated up or at room temperature, this is a delicious breakfast or dessert. Or snack. A little messy but really yummy. MMM.

I made several modifications to the recipe:
- used 3/4 container of strawberries
- used two stalks of rhubarb, so I think next time I'll use more rhubarb
- I added a sprinkling of whole, raw almonds for added chewiness and crunch as I was making the topping
- I didn't use honey, starch, yogurt, salt, nor vanilla extract
- I added demerara sugar to the strawberries+rhubarb instead of honey, and again to the topping.
