Mocha Bread Pudding

Kirk was in San Francisco this week and as he left to come home he picked me up a loaf of bread from Boudin Bakery. (My husband is the ultimate one for a foodie! 😀 ) It was a very tasty loaf of sourdough.

I had bread left over the next day and no way was I going to waste stale bread of this quality on the squirrels in our yard…..so I started thinking about what I could do with it. Bread pudding sounded really good, but I knew I wanted it a bit lighter – not the typical cream/butter/egg combo (which I won’t lie…does taste like heaven in a bowl…)
