What a sweet story! I have always been a huge fan of rice pudding, and can’t wait to make it! I’m from the South, in NW Ga., so I can relate to your recipes. Haven’t seen one yet that didn’t sound delish!

Christy, I love your site and all the wonderful down home recipes– the storie all take me back down memory lane and to my own childhood which goes back alot futher than yours…I’m much older than you and the stories remine me so much of my grandma and my owm mama– their quote was ” waste not want not” and in our poor home front– we didn’t have any thing to waste, everything was put to use.. Cooking along with you puts me back in the kitchen with grandma and mama– I can still smell all the goodies from the kitchen!!!! Thanks for a wonderful site and for all the memories you bring back to this old lady.. You are a real doll for keeping alive your family memories… Love ya, Nana Dot

When I told my in laws I never ate rice growing up but with milk or sugar after dinner they thought I was crazy, even thought it was gross. YUM, thats what rice is for in the South, right?

Lisa – it is lovely, isn’t it? Living so near, we tend to take it for granted and don’t often sit and listen to the water like we should. I’ll try to do that next time I am at my mother’s now. Thank you for the reminder!

Pam – thank you for letting me know! I am SO THRILLED you liked her recipe and know Mama Reed is smiling down on us now.
I need to make me some soon….

I grew up on the Tennessee River and still go back frequently, I find solace in the peaceful little town and the water!

I bet my kids would love this rice pudding. Thanks.

LOVE the view from the porch! Makes me nostalgic for living on the lake near Knoxville!
