You can come bring me flowers anytime! Though I think I've got access to more of them this time of year than you do. Sharing food is one of my most favorite things in the world. Let's do!

You could try Amaranth or Millet I suppose, or the ground rice used for cream of rice. I am sure there are Indian variations on the recipe that may use rice.

(Of course you can use soy, rice or almond milk as subs.) Let me know if you try it.
