Individual Vanilla Puddings

I cooked dinner tonight for Dean & Doris, who leave tomorrow to go home to Michigan after spending the winter in Texas.

I think this pudding is a nice dessert as a treat for my mom, Dean, or Jay. It isn't low fat (whole milk, although I don't see why you couldn't use 2%, egg yolks & butter) or sugar-free, but it is healthy and low in carbohydrates if you're not having potatoes, rice, bread etc. with dinner. It has 250 calories, 25 g. carbohydrate, 6 g. protein, and is much much better than something from a box. I served it in pretty little glass dishes that were my grandmother's, with 1/2 of a strawberry fanned on the top.
