Chocolate Rice Pudding

Got a sweet tooth this afternoon, and decided to stir up some kinda dessert for after supper ... scan of the fridge and pantry turned up some milk, eggs, butter ... had some raw rice, so decided to make rice pudding ... and at the last second I spied the cocoa powder and decided to make it a chocolate rice pudding. Chilled and garnished with a dollop of whipped cream and a few fresh blackberries. Good eats.

Caramel Apple Upside Down Cake

Hot out the oven ... smells yummy. Thought I had an original idea making this spin on the traditional pineapple upside down cake ~ even thought my *original name* was clever ... but alas while it was in the oven baking, I googled it & discovered it had already been done. Drats! Oh well ... got vanilla ice cream??
