Pumpkin Bread Pudding
I can’t believe it is November already, where is the time going. Halloween passed, and Thanksgiving is coming up pretty soon. Once you hit Thanksgiving then it’s suddenly New Years and you wake up wondering what happened. My little Ella is already 8 months and standing up. And i want to find a pause button, things need to slow down.
It’s fall and pumpkin is just something i love to bake with. When i saw this Pumpkin Bread Recipe I knew right away what i was making. I had never before made Bread Pudding but didn’t realize how easy it is to make. I will be making this more often.
I also didn’t just want to use regular bread, i went for some brioche. This Pumpkin Bread Pudding is just amazing. Next time i might try to add some raisins as well.
This recipe is part of the monthly Secret Recipe Club “assignment!” Every month you get a name of a blog and you need to choose ANY recipe from that blog and then blog about that recipe by a date. It’s a secret because the blog owner does not know you are doing this until the reveal date. My secret blog this month was Food Babbles, which is written by Kate. Kate is a stay at home mom and has a fabulous blog. I spent a long time on Food Babbles trying to figure out what to make. But at the end i decided to make something for the fall and with pumpkin. If you haven’t visited Food Babbles you should go and check it out, so many delicious recipes.
