Why: It's no secret that my husband is a bread man. It's not a rare occasion that we get a loaf of bread and just snack on it for a meal. I eat it with balsamic and olive oil but my husband eats it plain. You can image his excitement when at the family get together we realized that my brother in laws bakery bakes their own hot dog and hamburger buns. And they are delicious. At the end of the party there was nearly an entire sheet box full (really, you had to see it to understand the volume..) of rolls. We weren't going to let them go to waste and snagged a box and took them home....and we might have had just hamburger buns for dinner that night. Anyway, we purposely left the rolls out overnight so we'd stop eating them. Left with a box full of stale bread, I decided it was time to make my favorite, bread pudding.
What: It's amazing how complicated people like to make bread pudding. I've lucked out with this recipe. Trust me. It's divine. And you have to make the sauce too, it truly makes all the difference and it's super easy. I had some frozen blackberries so I tossed them in and it really was a delicious treat. I also used a vanilla bean instead of extract and trust me, you can tell the difference. Even just looking at the pictures now my mouth is watering.
