Gluten Free Instant Rice Pudding

This easy recipe for gluten free instant rice pudding is made with cooked rice. You can make this creamy dessert quickly on your stovetop. The recipe includes cinnamon, vanilla, and sweetened condensed milk.

I love using this recipe for leftover rice or microwave rice so it's really quick to make. I usually serve this with fresh berries, but you could also serve it the classic way with raisins. This is a really rich and creamy dessert that is always a hit!

Is there gluten in rice pudding?

There shouldn't be any gluten in rice pudding. Rice should be gluten free, but if it's processed with other ingredients that include gluten it can be contaminated. Always be sure to check the package to see if it is gluten free. There should either be the gluten free seal or the ingredient section should disclose if there could be gluten.

Do I have to use cooked rice for this recipe?

Yes! This recipe will not turn out properly with these short cooking times if the rice isn't precooked. This is a great recipe to use leftover rice or to use Lotus Foods Microwave Jasmine Rice.

I like to use Jasmine Rice. I add two cups of rice to four cups of water in a large stockpot. Using medium high heat I bring the ingredients to a boil and then I turn the heat to low and let the rice cook for 14 minutes. When the rice is done remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork.

What rice is best for rice pudding?

I like white rice best for making rice pudding. I think having the husk removed allows the rice to soak up the creamy sauce better. My favorite white rice is Jasmine rice because I think it holds together the best and has a nice texture. For gluten free be sure that the packaging states the rice is gluten free and that the rice is not cross contaminated.

Favorite Things August 13, 2021

one of my favorite things are indoor houseplants to purify the air

This a collection of things I'm loving right now. I've included recipes that are perfect for this season and some of my favorite things. Grab a cup of your favorite beverage and scroll through all the stuff I've enjoyed this week.

New Fall Sweaters at Target

I know lots of places are still really hot and in the midst of a summer heat wave, but I've found in years past that women's fall sweaters sell out fast. So, while you're enjoying some air conditioning inside it's the perfect time to do some online shopping! These are some of my favorite sweaters in Target's new fall collection.

Stuff I Love

What We Just Tried - We tried the new Kind Frozen Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Bars and the new Kind Peanut Butter Ice Cream. We loved the bars, but the ice cream wasn't very good (and it gave me indigestion). My favorite peanut butter chocolate ice cream is still Tillamook!

What I'm Watching - On Apple TV I've been watching Home Before Dark. The first couple of episodes felt like a kids show, but then it picks up and I'm really liking the mystery.

What I'm Reading - I'm currently reading Shoulder Season by Christina Clancy. The book is about a woman that goes to work at the Playboy Resort in Wisconsin in 1981 and then her life during and after her experience. I like the main character and the book has been interesting. If you enjoyed Daisy Jones and the Six you would like this book.

What I'm Loving - I've been using these bottles all summer long to hold simple syrups and agua fresca in my fridge door. They seal nicely and are really easy to pour from.

What I Want to Get - I love an elbow length t-shirt for fall and winter. I'm loving this black and white elbow length tee that I have in my cart at Target!

New Items for Fall I'm Loving

Favorites From Around the Web

I love this retro velvet pillow from Drew Barrymore's new line at Walmart. The colors are all really pretty and would make a simple update to your couch for fall.

I'm also loving the small kitchen appliances in the new Drew Barrymore line at Walmart. This air fryer is super pretty in matte black or white.

I'm loving all the black and white access pieces that are popping up for the home this fall. This pillow, this pouf and this rug are three of my favorites.

I've been looking for a new crossbody bag. I think this brown version is so pretty and this black version would go with everything. This brown pleated crossbody bag looks like it would hold all of my stuff!

This long skirt is perfect to go from late summer into fall. I would pair it with sandals now and then switch to boots for fall. The color and pattern is lovely!

Speaking of boots, this brown pair of ankle boots from Target looks like the Fry version, but at a much lower price. This rich brown color is perfect with jeans!

I've been thinking about doing an office refresh. I love this gold wire basket rolling cart and this midcentury upholstered office chair.

All of the simple hoop earrings that are everywhere right now are so pretty! I love this silver pair of oval hoops, this set of three worn gold hoops and this trio of texture gold hoops.

Cantaloupe Agua Fresca

This easy recipe for cantaloupe agua fresca makes the perfect drink for summer. Using the fruit, lime juice and water you can quickly have a tasty mocktail. I love this agua fresca plain or served with sparkling water.

If you aren't a fan of cantaloupe you can substitute watermelon or honey dew melon. If you are going to add another fruit that is more tart you may need to increase the amount of sweetener you add to the recipe.

This recipe is a great way to use leftover cantaloupe that you sliced up and have in the refrigerator. The lovely orange color is perfect to serve at gatherings. This drink is always a hit served very cold over ice during the hot summer months.

If you are looking for more tasty cold drinks try my Homemade Blueberry Lemonade made with Frozen Blueberries, my Pina Colada Mocktail, my Strawberry Daiquiri Mocktails, or my Homemade Raspberry Lemonade.

Cantaloupe agua fresca is a light, refreshing beverage that captures the sweet, mellow flavor of ripe melon in every sip.

This cantaloupe drink is a staple summer beverage in many warm-weather regions, offering a naturally sweet and hydrating alternative to sugary sodas or heavy juices.

With its smooth texture and vibrant color, this melon agua fresca recipe is a delightful way to enjoy cantaloupe in liquid form-perfect for cooling down on hot days.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is agua fresca made of?

Agua fresca is made of water, fruit, lime juice and a sweetener. For this version I used cantaloupe, granulated sugar and also added a bit of sea salt to cut the sweetness just a little. You could easily replace the cantaloupe with watermelon, honey dew or another fruit that you have.

Depending on how sweet the fruit is you're using you will want to adjust the amount of sugar you add. For this recipe I used ripe cantaloupe which is naturally very sweet. If you want to use fruit that is less ripe or a fruit that is more tart you will want to add more sweetener.

Does agua fresca have alcohol in it?

No, this drink is water based and does not contain alcohol. It is very close to a juice and is great for non-alcoholic drinks and to serve to children. If you wanted to you could add alcohol to make a cocktail or sparkling water to cut down on the sweetness.

How should I store cantaloupe agua fresca?

I like to put mine in a bottle, but you could also store your agua fresca in a jar with a sealed lid. You can store this cantaloupe agua fresca in the refrigerator for 7-10 days.
