BREAD PUDDING WITH MOST DELICIOUS BUTTER SAUCE!
This Bread Pudding is one of the easiest dessert recipes and personally my favorite!! What really puts this dessert completely over the top is the sauce…it’s to die for!! Not to mention it’s only made with 3 ingredients- butter sugar and eggs.
Bread pudding
Ingredients
For the bread pudding
1 French bread loaf
1/2 cup raisins (soaked in warm water for 1/2 hour)
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1/3 cup sugar
1 quart half and half
4 eggs, beaten
For the sauce
2 sticks butter
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups sugar
Directions
For the bread pudding
Cut bread into 1 inch pieces and place them into a 9 x 9“ dish or something similar in size.
Sprinkle raisins over the top.
In a large bowl whisk together eggs, melted butter, sugar and half-and-half. Pour over bread and press down onto the bread making sure everything is soaked. If you have time let it sit for 30 minutes, you can even prep this the night before. If not you can bake it right away.
Preheat oven to 350° and bake for 50
minutes to 1 hour. The top will be golden brown and center should be set.
For the sauce
Melt two sticks of butter over medium low heat.
Add sugar and stir until well combined. Remove from heat.
Whisk in beaten eggs. Turn heat back on medium low and continue to cook until sauce has thickened and heated through, about 8 minutes. When it’s done when the sauce should feel warm/hot to touch. Be careful not to overcook, the eggs in the sauce will curdle. Serve over bread pudding.

Swiss Steak has beef and carrots cooked in a rich tomato sauce until they’re fork tender. It’s a classic comfort dish that’s so delicious over rice or mashed potatoes!

1 1/2-2 lbs top round steak
1 onion, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
28 oz can crushed tomatoes
1 cup beef broth

Add more oil and sauté onions and garlic for 2-3 minutes.
Add crushed tomatoes, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Season well with salt and pepper.
Return the steak back to the pan and bring to a boil. Lower heat between medium low to low and cook for 1 1/2 hours.

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, melted
3/4 sugar
3/4 brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 oz container raspberries, halved
1 1/3 cups white chocolate chips

How to make delicious Tuscan orzo
Tuscan Orzo is an easy delicious one pan meal! The orzo cooks chicken broth and cream with tomatoes and spinach. I like to top it off with shrimp but you can enjoy it as is or add any protein of choice!
Tuscan Orzo with Shrimp
Ingredients
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 garlic cloves, minced
10 oz grape or cherry tomatoes (can also used diced Roma tomatoes)
1 3/4 cup dry orzo pasta
3 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
3 cups baby spinach
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
Directions
Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat oil in the pan over medium high heat and cook shrimp until cooked through. Removed and set aside.
Add more oil and sauté garlic for 30 seconds over medium heat.
Add tomatoes and cook for 1 minute.
Stir in orzo and cook for another minute.
Add chicken broth and heavy cream and season well with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to medium low. Cover and let simmer for 12 minutes, stirring at the halfway point to prevent orzo from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Stir in spinach and cook until just wilted.
Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese. Top orzo with cooked shrimp.
