MICROWAVE VANILLA PUDDING 
Sometimes all we need to satisfy a craving is a bowl of creamy smooth vanilla pudding. Homemade vanilla pudding is an easy dessert as it uses ingredients we usually have in our pantries, milk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla, and it can be made quickly with a minimum of fuss. It looks so enticing when served in pretty bowls with a dollop of softly whipped cream and maybe a small handful of toasted and chopped walnuts sprinkled on top.
