Time for the Bi-Yearly Post


The debate season has been keeping me more busy than usual this year. I will definitely be taking the kids to fewer tournaments next year! Well, I've been busy but not so busy that I couldn't find time to whip together some truly awesome bread pudding. The recipe is below, but here's the important part: Drizzle a few drops of heated apricot jam on top after it is cooked and serve with a tablespoon of lowfat honey greek yogurt as a 'sauce'. Yummy!!

Combine the following and cook at 350 in a lightly buttered pan for 25-35 minutes, or until done:

-2 Cups of milk (non fat works well)
-2-3 Eggs
-1 Cup of Sugar
-1-2 Tablespoons of vanilla
-1 Tablespoon of cinnamon
- A sprinkle (1/4 t) of any or all of the following: nutmeg, cloves, ginger powder
-1 smallish apple (granny smith, makintosh, something that will bake well)- slice up super thin in small squares. Thin!

Mix all the above, add bread (see below), toss in buttered or oiled baking dish, and bake!
1 loaf of bread, about the size of a french bread loaf rather than a whole package of sandwhich bread. I mix french bread and wheat sandwhich bread. Use whatever is handy. If it isn't stale, toast it pretty well before tearing in to chunks. Add the chunks at the end, after the other ingredients have been mixed together in a bowl.
