How to Make Your Own Super-mom Customizable Pudding- Pudding Recipe Included

Who would have thought that bottled water would ever be so lucrative that now we can’t imagine living in a world without it. Although I prefer my own stainless steel bottles and my water filter, it’s still understandable that for many, water bottles is convenient.

Ironically, in a packaged-product world, we sometimes don’t realize that with a bit of effort, you can whip up a snack which has fewer preservatives than the packaged kind.

Below is a pudding recipe that you can use as a base and you can modify it as you need.

Nutmeg Vanilla Pudding

Active Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 50 minutes

Makes: 4 servings

1/4 cup sugar

3 Tbs. cornstarch or organic cornstarch (Can you believe that this is the secret ingredient behind pudding?)

1/2 tsp. salt

2 cups 2% milk

1 tsp. vanilla extract

Nutmeg (There is even organic nutmeg available)

How to make it:
