Last week we were blessed with a big bucket of fresh cow's milk from some friends! Oh, the excitement of drinking fresh milk with cream floating on top!! And of course it tasted fabulous.

One of the things I made with some of the milk was this delicious creamy vanilla pudding. Oh, my!

I don't usually describe foods as "heavenly" but that was the word popping into my mind as we savored the smooth, fragrant, warm vanilla pudding.

I wrote this recipe myself, but really -- how hard can a pudding be, anyway? :) This one's only got seven ingredients, and pretty much guaranteed to be stuff that's already in your pantry.

And the flavor... after having homemade vanilla pudding it would truly be tortuous to have to eat pudding made from a typical boxed mix!

This homemade creamy vanilla pudding is the ultimate in comfort foods, especially when served warm. Mmmmmm.... :)

I also made a killer dark chocolate pudding with some of the milk -- but you'll have to wait until I get that one typed up. :)
