Overnight bread pudding goodness

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

As promised, I’m sharing some overnight bread pudding goodness with y’all!  To make it even better, cause bread pudding by itself is pretty “top of the line” but when you add some blueberries…you’ve got heaven and the stairway!

I’ve shared with y’all, of when I lived in the Houston area many moons ago, for the span of 28 years I collected some of my all time favorite recipes from the Houston Chronicle food section.  This is one of them.

My tips:

  • They call it French toast, I call it bread pudding!  
  • This is the halved version from the original recipe because unless you’re having a crowd for breakfast or brunch, it makes a lot.  You can easily double it for a 13×9 pan full.
  • I’ve only made this recipe using fresh blueberries, so I can’t attest to how it turns out with frozen blueberries.
  • You can either serve with the sauce included in the recipe or if you’re running short on time, regular syrup tastes just as great!
  • It’s delicious enough to serve as a dessert. I’ve prepped this first thing in the morning and allow to sit in fridge for 4-6 hours and then pop in oven. YUMMY whether overnight or day of!!!

Start with day old French bread and use half of it and freeze the other half for another time.  The recipe is pretty simple and delicious.  An overnighter, meaning that you prepare a day in advance, store in fridge until morning time and pop in the oven.

  • For the SAUCE: combinethe (last 5 ingredients) - sugar, water and cornstarch until smooth in a small saucepan.

My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me ye My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me yesterday. 
.
All because he decided to take his blankie home 2 days before and when we layed down to take a nap yesterday he was upset.  Upset he didn’t have his blankie and upset at Mimzy for not getting it for him. I hate to see children unhappy and that little face of his with tears rolling down made me sadder than he was.  I gave him 3 other blankets that didn’t replace his #1 blankie.  When he woke up he was still mad at me! 
.
It was the 1st and hopefully last time he’s ever mad at me, cause I sure didn’t like that and I didn’t even cause the problem to begin with. All I know is that we got that blankie back over here to avoid this happening again. The clock may be ticking and he’s growing full speed ahead but I don’t want to see that little man mad at his Mimzy if I can help it!

Cloudy Friday and 28 degrees. . And I’ll take it Cloudy Friday and 28 degrees.

And I’ll take it! Yes, I could’ve easily stayed curled up in bed for a few more hours but it’s my favorite day of the week and there’s playing with the grands to be done!

Definitely more important than sleeping in! Or is it? 🤣😂

Boo and I were shopping in DesMoines and we stopped in at a local tortilleria as I had ordered some masa. However they informed me they only sell in 10 pounds or more... so out the window went my “I’ll just get 5 pounds of masa for tamales” plan. Ten pounds of masa later, I immediately called my sister for backup help! Lol
.
So today is the day for tamales!  First time I’ll make ‘em since my mommas been gone.  So I’m hoping she’s watching and guiding me along. 
.
On a good note... the masa texture looks amazing so I’m hoping it’s a good sign!!! Wish me luck!

Well, it’s a different word for a Butler’s pantry. We’ve been updating ours and I find that I’m not a Butler’s pantry kinda girl. I replaced the original door with this beauty of a door I snatched for $12! I repaired the broken panes and  took a piece of plywood to make a new center panel. I then added these details on it. 
.
Our home was built for the David Dancer family in 1883. I added the wash, fold, etc. as the space also houses our laundry room. One of these days I can show you the REST of the space but until now, you get a peek at the lovely old door leading into our scullery!
