Tasty Tuesday: Biscuit Bread Pudding

Yes, I know it's not Tuesday any more, but I like the sound of Tasty Tuesday and I really wanted to share this recipe with you all.

With three of us, we rarely eat an entire plate of biscuits. I almost always cut the recipe in half, but last night, even with cutting the recipe in half, I still had a ton of biscuits left over. I began to wonder if bread pudding was an option. I did some googling and came up with this biscuit bread pudding from Homesick Texan. I wanted to pin it, but Pinterest doesn't always recognize all the things I recognize. So here are my photos and what I did in adapting it

Doesn't that just look tasty? It was, very tasty. I liked it.

Here's a close up so you can see all the nummy fruit.

I greased the pan and then crumbled the biscuits in it. Poured over two cups of milk and let it rest. I then proceeded to beat two eggs and add a half cup each of brown and white sugar. I also added cinnamon (which I would leave out if I were making chocolate again), vanilla, salt and cocoa powder. Mixed all that up and then added it to the bread and milk in the pan, mixed it all up until it was pretty much the same color all over. Added in some dried berry mix which is heavy on the cherries, but has bits of other things, too. Cooked it in a 375 degree oven for just about 45 minutes. We didn't let it cool long before digging in. I had an extra bite with a bit of Sanders' caramel drizzled on top. I was able to teach Hannah the meaning of "Gilding the Lily" with that trick.

It think it's great for breakfast, snack or dessert. Bread pudding is a great way to use up bread that would other wise go to waste, it's like the culinary version of reduce reuse recycle.

Sweet Caroline by Kelda Poynot

First off, my copy of Sweet Caroline (aff link) is not a gifted review book, I spent my well earned Amazon No-Rush Rewards money on this book. Second of all, this is not my standard close door kind of romance. Third of all, this is a really fun read. Caroline is a hard working young lady that is doing all that she can to make ends meet and to get her graduate degree. Part of that work is renting out the room above her garage. When she answers the phone of an unknown number, believing it's a future tenant, she has no idea how much her life is about to change. The young man on the other end of that call, Hashim, is tall, dark, and mysterious in all the right ways. The story quickly moves from the girl next door falling for a stranger to a fight for their lives. And in true real life fashion, those fights aren't just with external enemies but the ones we carry within. It's an entertaining story of Caroline and Hashim, discovering their love for each other and ...

Loving Disagreement by Kathy Khang and Matt Mikalatos

If you're human, which I'm assuming you are if you found your way here, there will come a moment in your life when you're right and they're wrong and you're going to have to not win because the relationship is more important than your rightness It might be over where to go to dinner, which type of coat to wear for the weather, what ever it may be, you're going to find yourself there. Khang and Mikalatos have got together and written Loving Disagreement for that exact moment, especially if that exact moment isn't occurring with a loved one but with someone you encountered on the internet or maybe the break room at work, the where and who don't really matter because we can be loving towards anyone, even when we're not in relationship with the offending person. The book uses the concept of the fruit of the spirit to go through different ways to handle conflict. Khang and Mikalatos take turns writing the meat of each section but there's a quite enj...

Tasty Tuesday: Loaded Baked Potato Soup

I've had loaded baked potato soup on the menu most of the month of November, not really knowing when I was going to make it. Last night was the night.
