The bread puddings I ate were torn up, usually in bigger hunks, then had some kind of sauce poured over it. Sometimes they’d have fruit and/or nuts in the pudding too. Mmmm, apple bread pudding with vanilla/cinnamon sauce {drooling!} Nuts and raisins would taste good with that too, but I think they’d bother me now.

Now I’m going to try hamburger and hotdog buns the next time I have some leftover, thanks.

I am making the hobo packets tonight and I just know with you behind the recipe, it will be delicious!

I have posted my mother’s bread pudding recipe following the depression bread pudding recipe. I’ll do a tutorial on it soon!!
As always, thank you for reading my blog!

No telling.
I would have been just like you though, “I made this whole loaf of bread and there is half left!! I have to do something!!!”.
I know the whole “children starving” thing was used a lot on us as children, but it really is something I think about. Here we have all this food and there are so many who don’t. I’m fortunate to have plenty of matriarchs who knew how to put this and that together and make it a meal.

Plus, its just kind of fun to take something you might have thrown out and turn it into yumminess!

My husband is pretty funny about bread pudding. He always declared that the very thought of it made him gag. He’d never had any, but it just didn’t sound appealing to him at all. I consider my bread pudding a success because when I made it, he tried a little and said, surprised, “This isn’t bad!”
