Sausage Rice Casserole

This was a childhood favorite that carried on to the next generation. My children loved it also and my daughter now makes it. It is an economical and easy meal, which was important as there were seven of us. Use the basic recipe or use your favorite sausage (I use breakfast or pork)or vegetables (I like bell peppers) to make it your own favorite meal! I sometimes add italian spice to change it up.

Creamy Rice Pudding

The hint of spice adds just the right amount of flavour to this ever-popular simple dessert. You can add 2 tbsp (25 mL) golden raisins or cranberries, or garnish with a sprinkle of toasted sliced almonds. If you want to serve it cold, just add 1/4 cup (50 mL) more milk.
