When I bake, or have desserts, I just don't offer her any and, so far, it's never been a problem. Sweets will definitely be a part of her life (as it is a part of mine) but I just wanted her to have a good foundation of different flavors before having any. One of the things I enjoy most about having a child is the pure, uninitiated palate they have that I can form (or try to influence at least)! It is magical seeing someone experience different food for the first time!<br /><br />Rice pudding is so easy to make! And you can make small portions, like oatmeal almost :) We also eat this purple rice plain...love it!ChichaJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14143881216169572999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14448190.post-5453777411568490862012-04-01T21:40:59.836+08:002012-04-01T21:40:59.836+08:00And NO, I was not going to ignore the fact that yo...And NO, I was not going to ignore the fact that you used PURPLE rice! :-D I just wanted to separate the two topics. ;-) I first saw purple rice in a small store in Angeles, Pampanga. We bought some to try, and it was good -- very aromatic! We just cooked and ate it like regular rice, though; didn't think of making pudding. Speaking of which, I LOVE rice pudding and rarely see it served in local restaurants, which is why the few times I do (like in Cyma), I have to order it. Thanks for the recipe, then. I didn't realize it was so easy to make, almost like cooking pasta. Maybe I'll try this soon. :-)Katrinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14448190.post-10403581750261374672012-04-01T21:35:44.470+08:002012-04-01T21:35:44.470+08:00I'm sure you know I'd be in the camp that&...I'm sure you know I'd be in the camp that's aghast at a two-year-old never having sugar! ;-) A friend of mine didn't let her son taste sugar until he turned one, and then he got a bite or two of carrot cupcake. You can imagine my reaction: "You wait a year to give him sugar, and you give him a *carrot* cupcake?! HAHAHA! My family prides ourselves in our love for sweets, so there's no way we could do that. <br /><br />Don't get me wrong, though. I totally support what you did. In fact, I'm also uncomfortable with giving kids sweets too often. Most people are born with a natural preference for sweet food, so I like the idea of getting her into the other flavors first. My new niece's pediatrician recommended she be given sugar water in her bottle to help her gain weight (she was premature), and I don't like the idea that she's already ingesting refined sugar this early; not to mention, it may permanently set her taste preference for sweets. <br /><br />I'm curious, though: since you do bake desserts once in a while, how did you keep her from wanting to eat them?Katrinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14448190.post-60827093607187966082012-03-25T00:07:51.806+08:002012-03-25T00:07:51.806+08:00Hi Tracey!

You can try this with white to make a regular rice pudding, or even with brown rice :)<br /><br />Hi Midge! I think it’s really because she is put off by the color…I am sure she will come around :)<br /><br />Hi Shalum! She like stuff like this and oatmeal…I love champorado!<br /><br />Hi Sanju! Haha! Now I know where to send our leftovers! Heehee ;)<br /><br />Hi Catherine! I now right? Time enough for that later…there is no earthly reason really to rush into it!

As I read about the purple rice from the Cordilleras, I couldn't help but feel kind of sorry for those who don't have access to the marvelous variety of rice we have here in the Philippines (or Asia as a whole). In addition to purple, I've picked up red rice, too.
