Happy Labor Day - Bread Pudding

Happy Labor Day to all my fans!  As you already know, my dad was a coal miner.  On those summer days that were meant for sipping lemonade under the cool shade of a maple tree, he was in the mines helping make America strong. 

A lot of people celebrate the holidays by creating complicated desserts.  When I grew up during the depression, we had Jello...only on Sundays...only when it was cold.  Mom would put bananas, nuts, or marshmallows in the mixture.  It was our holiday dessert.

Another dessert I remember was home-made bread pudding.  I thought I would share this recipe on this Labor Day

Home-Made Bread Pudding

Take day-old bread
Cut it up and place in bowl.
In a seperate bowl, make egg custard (plenty of milk, four eggs and some sugar); blend well and pour it over the bread.
Bake at 350 degrees until top is golden brown.

Let me know how you like it!
