I know how you feel. Sometimes you just don't want to leave your house to go to the grocery store for just one thing. I get like that sometimes so am always looking at ways to make things on my own without having to go & get pudding mixes, certain ingredients even, among other things. I enclosed two recipes below for pudding if you are at all interested. I thought I'd give you two different pudding recipes since someone already included a chocolate pudding recipe. I hope if you try these that you like them as much as we do in our household! . . Thanks for allowing me to share! xx "Vanilla Pudding."
