Bread Pudding

I made bread pudding this morning for breakfast. I had some left over baguette which gets hard rather quickly. It is obvious why the French buy their baguettes everyday and eat them in one sitting. So instead of wasting the bread, I decided to try bread pudding. I used this recipe and made a few changes. Instead of raisins, I put in a cut up half an apple and I added one of those little cups of peaches that the kids like to eat. I would make it again but let the break soak for a bit before baking it. My bread was really hard before baking and the pieces that weren't in any or much egg/milk mixture ended up like croutons. I like my bread pudding on the chewy side rather than the mushy side but the hard crunchy pieces were just too much for me. The kids were ok with it but didn't rave either. The surprising hit was the bread pudding sauce at the bottom of the page. It says thanks to Allison, but that is not me. Anyway, it is just a basic pudding and the kids ate that lickey split and were arguing about who got to lick the bowls. They are begging me to make "a bit pot of that stuff". I would feel better about them eating that pudding rather than anything from the store or from any mix, and it was just as easy.

I think we need to get out and exercise after that breakfast!!
