Dad’s Bread Pudding
Spring break definitely was not what I had planned. I have lived in Chicago my whole life (up until a few years ago) and I was shocked at how cold and rainy it was this week. Of course I had to leave my warm weather to spend a week in the rain (and one day snow). I’m not sure why it was shocking, but I guess I just assumed that by the end of April the weather would have warmed, a little bit.
However, I did get to spend the week with my family for Easter, and Dad made us this delicious bread pudding with a lemon glaze. It’s so nice to go home and have someone else cook or bake for me, especially when it’s as good as this! I promised him that it would make it on the blog this week!
Thanks for the burgers too Dad!

I love a bread pudding. It is so warm and inviting just like being home for the holidays. My mom makes a great white chocolate bread pudding, but I am a traditionalist and like mine with raisins and a warm rum sauce. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
