Citrus Pudding with Whipped Cream

Hello loves, did you miss me? Oh my heart ached to be with you, but roll into one week two sick kiddos (more on this later), super cache updates, a move to another server, possible lost blog posts and my blog appearing as “page not found.”  Oh I tell you it was too much for this girl to handle.  I was an emotional mess.  Thank goodness my host provider has a great bunch of capable people, for I get lost on twitter, to help me find my way back to you.  At this moment I only crave reading… reading… reading ….all the remarkable meals, stories and tips you have shared over my turbulent week away.  

Is it lazy of me that my return post be a easy citrus pudding? Possibly, but imagine sunshine in a cup..rays of vitamin c trickling down your taste buds.  I need sunshine dammit!! I need to feed my body a super boost of vitamin C wrapped in a tasty treat, as I regain my emotional strength.  Did this easy peasy treat help? Oh yes, I licked my cup clean, licked the spoon, and licked the container. Of course when no one was looking (so I thought).  This pudding surprised me, for I am not a pudding girl.  I have never been drawn to that instant pudding, pudding cups or pudding pops that my childhood friends all craved.  Imagine my surprise when I was caught by Chuls (11 yr daughter) licking the container.  Did she judge me? No, she simply stated “told ya,  to double the recipe!”  Enjoy, Sweet Life

    As if nursing your kids back to health wasn’t enough… I’m glad you are back up and running 🙂

    This citrus pudding sure sounds summery… I’ve been longing for sunshine and spring lately, hopefully soon… this sounds like a treat to forget about all the rain in the forecast for the coming weekend. I hope their predictions are wrong.

    I just recently discovered citrus puddings! They are so much better than vanilla/chocolate puddings! Don’t tell anyone I said that though 😉
    I can’t wait to try this!

    This is absolutely neat, my experience with pudding have never gone beyond packaged chocolate pudding before, but the thought of creamy citrus really makes my mouth water ;]

    And I hope that your babes are feeling better.

    In the Canadian prairies through the winter, I am so sun deprived from hiding indoors that I crave citrus everything. This looks perfect!
    YUM!

    You changed the look of your blog! I like it! Sorry to hear that you’ve been having technical issues, they are always frustrating and seemingly impossible to fix. I bet this citrus pudding made things all better. I like the different orange varieties, this looks so good.

    Yummm, yummm, yummm, you had me at the word citrus. LOL …I love tangerines, I finish a box of baby tangerines a week. The smell is fantastic. Your pudding looks delicious. I’m glad you got the blog back. It looks beautiful by the way. Loved the new design. I once changed server and man…..that was stressful. Hope your babies are better now Bonnie . 🙂

    O my. This sounds delicious. I wonder if there’s any way to avoid that oh-so-delicious whipped cream for those vegans in our lives?
    Thanks for the deliciousness. Glad things are not so hectic anymore!

    Hey Bonnie! Sorry you guys has such a tough week. I hope Chuls and Pips are feeling better. I was under the weather a bit too with a sore throat and that general feeling of flu-not a bad case but something was trying to get me:-)!
    Oh, and the citrus pudding sounds so wonderful! I should really juice some citrus and make this. I have corn starch, meyer lemons and some oranges?!!
    p.s. Chuls always knows best;-)

    I think I would fall apart if anything had to happen with my computer in any way.
    Simply a perfect summer pudding this, it sounds taste-bud tantalising.
