Buckwheat Groat & Brown Rice Banana Pudding

Just typing the title of this dish sounded gross, and I wish it didn’t.  Groat is such a heinous word. Jim attempted this one time and I think he failed at cooking the rice all the way through before he started.  Having lots of both leftover brown rice and buckwheat groats in the fridge, I decided to […]
