Christine Brown’s cooking show, Cooking with Just Christine, is making waves in the Sister Wives community now, but cooking isn’t something the mother of six recently picked up. She spent most of her years in the Brown family, serving as a caregiver and cook. Not only did she feed her own six children, but she was regularly tasked with feeding Janelle Brown’s six children and Meri Brown’s only child.

During his appearance on Surviving Sister Wives, Paedon was quizzed about the Brown family. At one point, he was asked to name his favorite recipe. There was one caveat, though. He was told he couldn’t pick the famed mock tapioca pudding recipe. 

Flummoxed, Paedon explained that it’s a rather delightful recipe. He said that Christine often made it for the kids because they all loved it, but she most decidedly did not. He said she actually hates the food item that seems to straddle the line between breakfast and dessert. 

What is mock tapioca pudding? 

Mock tapioca pudding is a pretty basic pudding recipe. Eggs, milk, and sugar are combined to create a base. Instead of adding tapioca pearls, Christine’s recipe calls for Cream of Wheat as a thickener. Vanilla extract gives the pudding more flavor.
