Arroz Con Leche (Rice Pudding)

November 11, 2019 By Geri Leave a Comment

Arroz con Leche, is a traditional Mexican comfort food. The nostalgia of having this wonderful dish as a child bring back memories of a time when all our loved ones still gathered together on Sundays and Holidays.

It was well known that a grandmother, mother, or auntie would be preparing this delicious treat for all to enjoy. Grandma’s house was filled with parents, aunts, uncles, cousins and siblings in their appropriate spots doing what they needed to do. The music was blaring in one room, the tv in another as the women were talking and getting the meal ready for the feast.

As the years pass, loved ones go on to their heavenly journeys and children grow up to have families and traditions of their own and we, as adults, go back in time to remember the ‘good ole days’of when we were children.
