Seedlings

New in My Kitchen

Making smoothies everyday now requires this, my new Oster Blender!!!

The Table I bought with Matt today, still not sure what I'm going to do with it, re-paint it for sure.

Lastly, the tulips Jon sent me, they have made my kitchen to lovely.

Vegan Rice Pudding Peach Tart

Matt & I made the most delightful tart from the April/May ReadyMade magazine but we changed some things, so here is Matt's recipe:

Vegan Rice Pudding Peach Tart

1 bag gingersnap cookies (crushed)

1/4 canola oil

Pudding:

1 cup jasmine rice

2 cans light coconut milk

1/4 cup sugar

cinnamon to taste

Peaches:

3 sliced thinly

1 t canola oil

3 t sugar

10 inch fluted tart pan w/ removable bottom

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Pour rice, coconut milk, & sugar into sauce pan and bring to a boil. Once boiling turn heat to low and let simmer for 15-20 min. until rice is cooked.

2. Crush gingersnaps and mix with canola oil, & spread crust evenly in bottom of greased Tart pan.

3. Pour finished rice pudding into crusted pan and bake for 10 minutes.

4. While baking, slice peaches and caramelize in oil, water, & sugar in saute pan on high heat until soft and yummy.
