New Orleans Bread Pudding With Amaretto Sauce
"While on a trip to New Orleans I attended a cooking class for some local flavor! I don't even like bread pudding but tasted this anyways.OH MY!! This was the best thing in the world! Most recipe's call for a whiskey sauce but the Amaretto sauce in this one is plate licking out of this world!! I will be posting it by itself too! I recommend doubling the sauce recipe because I like extra of it,and find that others do too!"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
As with everyone here, I love to cook. I love to collect cookbooks from all eras and types of food. My favorite is a set of books from the 60's called the Encyclopedia of Cookery, by Woman's Day. I hope to get a bunch of those recipe's posted here for all of you. I also love to use my crockpot! So much, that I had to go buy another one. I am a songle mom, so my biggest challenge is cooking smaller portions for me and my 4yr. old, Nicholas. He is my biggest fan and I him! I work for H-E-B as a Wine Manager. I love wine! So this job is perfect for me, I get to help people choose wine and sample it out all day. Which lets me try new wine all the time! I hope all of you enjoy my recipes and maybe one will become a new favorite for you!
