Okay, here it is...


Hello there, Here is the recipe for Cranberry Bread Pudding that you asked for. I hope that you enjoy it as much as we did. It does make quite a bit so you could probably divide it in half if you wanted. I just freeze it for an anytime treat.





Cranberry Bread Pudding

Ingredients
day-old bread to fill 9x13 glass pan (I use ½ of a 2lb home-made loaf of French)
6 tablespoons butter, melted (3/4 stick)
1 cup craisins
8 eggs, beaten
4 cups milk
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ginger
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Rip bread into 1 inch chunks and place into an 9x13 baking pan.
3. Drizzle melted butter over bread.
4. Sprinkle with craisins, push some down into the bread.
5. In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs, then add milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla beating until well mixed.
6. Pour over bread, and lightly push down with a fork until bread is covered and soaking up the egg mixture.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 1hr 15 minutes, or until the top does not look wet and a toothpick comes out clean.
8. Let cool, then...indulge in the dreamy wonder of this warm, rich , breakfast, desert or anytime treat!
Switching gears now...


Soooooooooooooooooooooo... Check this out. I found this in the basement of the Inn. I thought "what a cute little cabinet." It will be perfect to sit on to put on your shoes." Then I sat on it. And hit my head on the top and my butt didn't fit on the seat. And realized it was for a little person. I knew just the person. My goddaughter and niece Lilly. Lilly is my only sister Gretchen's little girl and she is such a sweet child! Anyway, I knew the cabinet would be perfect, so I worked diligently to strip every layer of red and black paint to create such a beautiful and functional "ca-bin-net", as Lilly says, for all of her shoes and "stuff."





Look at how cool this turned out! One person's junk is another one's treasure!! Now on to another treasure, another project and another day at the Inn. See ya... Tia
