For my internship this summer, I have been teaching a nutrition class at two residences for developmentally delayed individuals. To get their attention each class, I would make sure I bring along something to eat or something for them to do. So after the first few classes, they remember me as the food lady (asking "what are we eating today?" every time) and I ended up with lots of leftover foods.
I did some online research and ended up with Paula Deen's Bread Pudding Recipe. After a test batch that failed miserably (and of course being tortured by the guilt of adding too much sugar into a recipe), I decided to just go with my gut. I added around 5 slices of stale white bread, 1/2 cup of sugar, ~1 cup of milk and some vanilla extract. Soak the bread well in the mixture and baked for 40 minutes at 350 degrees.
The group of taste-tester friends who are always my recipe-testing lab rats all had varied opinion, some say it's still too sweet, some say it's okay. So I guess that means room for improvement, but hey, I used up my bread and produced something that goes well with ice-cream!
