Bread pudding. Yes, you read that right- my new love is bread pudding. OK, so it's not really a new love, I've loved it for years, but it is definitely a new obsession. I would eat it every day if I could! I, however, like fitting through my door, so I will limit my consumption.When my mom was here she made a fantastic bread pudding. It included a whole list of ingredients and had a sauce, so it wasn't a quick, get it in the oven before little Tsu (Carys) makes a mess kind of pudding. I was looking through my random recipes and found one I copied from the Amish Cook when I was working in Pennsylvania. I decided to try it. HEAVEN!!!!! It was really easy and really tasty. The bread on top was crispy, and the bread inside was perfect- not soggy at all. I thought I'd share my new favorite recipe so everyone can appreciate this delectable dessert!!
BREAD PUDDING
The Amish Cook (Lovina Eicher)
2 cups milk, scalded
1/4 cup butter
2 eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. nutmeg
3 cups soft bread, torn/cut into small pieces
1/2 cup raisins (I use craisins)
Combine milk and butter, stirring until butter is melted. Cool to lukewarm. Combine eggs, sugar, salt, and nutmeg; beat at medium speed of mixer for 1 minute. Slowly add milk mixture.
Place bread in a lightly greased 1 1/2 quart casserole dish; sprinkle with raisins and pour batter over all.
Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until set.

This blog. I was reading through the blog of a friend from high school, Sami Jo. She has a wonderful "mommy blog," her household, where she talks about her beautiful little boys, her days, her thoughts, and anything else she feels the need to share. Well, she gave a blog award to a friend she met through church. I was bored, so I thought I'd read the blog. It's FANTASTIC!!! I seriously have not laughed so hard in months. Maybe even years. If you want to laugh, read this blog. Just be sure you're not drinking anything at the time- it will shoot out your nose!!
