I Ate the Tops

6 Comments

I have a deep dark confession.

I was the one who ate the tops off the Thanksgiving pudding back in ’89.

Yes, I blamed it on Cedar.  She was an easy target, being the baby sister and all. I’m sorry girl!

Back in the late ’80’s I went through a chocolate pudding stage.  I made it from a box, always burned the bottom of the pot, and the skin that formed on the top was my favorite part.

A random urge came over me this morning and I channeled my 8 year old self to make a batch of chocolate pudding.  This time from scratch and with a slightly more adult take on things.

This pudding is made with low-calorie Silk Unsweetened Pure Almond Milk, maple syrup, and pure vanilla.
