cookies and cream bread pudding
we have had more snow days this year than EVER before. being that i have been stuck in the house and love to cook, the result is some creative cookin' in the kitchen! and i am sure that the hubby enjoys every minute of it. he had the greatest idea while he watched our son eat some oreos. he said, 'you should make cookies and cream bread pudding!' my mouth instantly started watering. so, risking the endangerment of my limbs, i carefully retrieved the oreo container out of the hands of our son and counted them. there were only 17 left. weird number, right? that was all i had to work with. but i was gonna work it. lol. this batch of cookies and cream bread pudding will absolutely be a recipe that i make many more times for my family along side my white chocolate bread pudding with strawberry sauce and eggnog bread pudding. it was some kinda good. 🙂
