OK -- so it's the first post of the new year and I thought I better do something that was healthy! You know, start out strong -- all gung-ho and all! Well, I did! I thought we needed chocolate pudding for dessert! OK -- so I made it 'til dinner to give in!
But really, the truth is this! This little chocolate pudding recipe says it will serve 2. It's easy as pie . . . well, make that pudding, and I thought to myself why not put a smidge of pudding in cute little dishes, like they do at the restaurants, and let this "little" recipe serve the 4 of us! Remember when dessert bites hit the menus of restaurants? Why not take the concept to your home . . . you'll save calories AND money! That's a deal!
Easy Chocolate Pudding
2 TBSP sugar
1 TBSP corn starch
1 cup skim milk
1/3 cup chocolate chips
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Place sugar and corn starch in a pan and stir together. Slowly add the cold milk and stir until smooth. Over medium heat, stir until mixture comes to a boil and continue stirring for another minute or two. (The mixture will be frothy and it seems to expand in your pan!) Remove from heat and add in the chocolate chips and the vanilla. Stir until smooth. Pour into your favorite dishes (maybe the small ones) and enjoy!

I poured 2 cups in small dishes for the kids and 2 in pretty little glasses for the adults. I hesitated using the "pretty" glasses -- but it came to me: I'd rather it break while I'm using it than to sit pretty on the shelf and never be used! That may be my new mantra for the new year! Now go make yourself some pudding!
