Bread Pudding Recipe

It wasn't until a few years ago that I became fond of bread pudding.  I can't remember the first time I actually tried bread pudding, but once I did, I became a fan, and couldn't believe how yummy it was!

I often order bread pudding at restaurants for desserts, and I decided to try and make my own using this recipe from Allrecipes.com.

It was a cinch to make, and it turned out delicious.

And it was even better when topped with some vanilla ice cream!
