bread pudding

We like french toast but I do not like all the work that has to go with french toast.  And I actually like to eat at the same time as Russell so we can talk.  We like to talk.  We like each other even though we have been married almost ten years.  It is a good thing.

So we can eat together, we have bread pudding instead of french toast.  This is my throw down recipe:

Bread pudding

4 slices of bread, cubed

2 eggs

1/4 cup maple syrup

3/4 cup original hempmilk

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon ginger

(or you can do 1-2 teaspoons of vanilla)

2 tablespoons butter

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Put the butter in a medium size casserole dish (or cast iron skillet like I do).  Put in the oven and let the butter melt.

Put the cubed bread, eggs, maple syrup, hempmilk, cinnamon, and ginger in a bowl.  Mix well.

It takes some mixing.  I even step away for a minute so the bread will soften up a bit.  

Pull the casserole dish out of the oven and pour this mixture in.

Bake for 30 minutes or until there are golden edges.   Eat straight out of the oven with your beloved with big mugs of tea.  That will make me smile.
