Simple Cajun Bread Pudding | When Grandma Ruled the Kitchen

Thanksgiving dinners with good old-fashion bread pudding was always a favorite of mine.

Homemade bread pudding became a welcomed annual tradition at our home. Besides the roasted turkey, the fabulous Cajun dirty rice, giblet gravy, and other complementary side dishes to die for, when it came time for desert, ma's bread pudding always took center stage at the conclusion of the feast.

Simple to make, this tasty bread pudding can tame the cravings of even the most ardent sweet-tooth monsters at your next dinner party.
