Lopez Rice Pudding

When I first got the book of family recipes, I knew that I wanted to keep some of these recipes in the family and not blast them all over the internet. I know, greedy, right?! As part of my donation to Dishing for Dana, I shared one of my favorite comfort food recipes. In hopes of encouraging you all to donate as well, I am gonna share that recipe here as well.
