When Life Gives You Pumpkins

Pumpkin Bread Pudding

November 17, 2012 by The Squishy Monster

I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite things to do on Saturday mornings (aside from indulging in a hot and hearty breakfast while watching Saturday morning cartoons), is to wander around the local Farmers Market.  This particular morning, I stumbled upon cute little Sugar Pumpkins, just begging to come home with me.  The fact that they were half off only sweetened the deal.  I couldn’t resist!  So today, I bring you Pumpkin Bread Pudding.  (Another sure delight for your Thanksgiving table).

    I adore bread pudding and made it a lot growing up. My version always had leftover corn and poppy seed muffins, you really cant go wrong when adding sugar, eggs and milk right?

    I am always up for baking with pumpkin, I love this season!

    Uh oh, is someone coming down with a cold? Your voice sounded a little different today. I love how you did your nails while the pudding was baking–suddenly they’re in color at the end! You should show your manicures here each week-this one looks like a color gradient-fun! This sounds great, Angie-another fall winner!

  21. Very Thanksgiving appropriate!
