Bread Pudding

My grandma subscribes my mom, aunt, me and herself to Simple & Delicious magazine. Each month we get it and a flip through it telling each other "Ooooww did you see page 12, doesn't that look good?" But we rarely make anything from it... SO I got the idea to make something out of it each week when I go visit my grandma. This was the first thing she chose. Bread Pudding. I have never eaten bread pudding so I wasn't sure what to expect or what to compare it to... kinda looks like barf too.... It was DELICIOUS! So rich and sweet! It was a little too sweet for my grandma AND it serves 12 so I took the leftovers to work and they devoured it!

Although the recipe shows $1.48 per serving it actually cost about $25 to make... ouch! Luckily Wednesday when Ken and I were at the Suns game our section won "section of the game" and we each got $5 gift cards to Frys! What a deal!

Anyway, here is the recipe.
