My husband's mother was from Belgium and he had once mentioned her rice pudding. I did not realize until I met his cousin this summer, that rice pudding with saffron is a very typical and ubiquitous Belgian dish. So, I decided to try combining several different recipes - and used less sugar and 1% milk, not whole milk to make it more WW friendly. He liked it, but said he thought his mom's had raisins - maybe!!
