Blueberry Cheesecake Bread Pudding

Walking into the grocery the other day, there was a table filled with baked temptations that of course caught my eye. I hadn’t eaten yet and they were all whispering to me seductively. Don’t laugh, but the loudest whisper was the long, paper wrapped rustic baguette. It was whispering  “Use me!” I could think of at least 3 different ways to use that loaf, so into my cart it went.

(Purchaser of Salmon/hubby) brought home salmon recently. Continue reading
