Dinner

Chicken Stewed in Apple Cider Chinese Cabbage Rice  But tonight was all about the dessert. My mother posted this on Facebook and it seemed really easy and yummy, and it was both. I would have added some apples or peaches or something but Neil liked it just as it was. The Vanilla sauce is just a good thing to have in your head for a quick throw together dessert Granny's Old-Fashioned Bread Pudding with Vanilla Sauce • 4 cups (8 slices) cubed white bread • 1/2 cup raisins • 2 cups milk • 1/4 cup butter • 1/2 cup sugar • 2 eggs, slightly beaten • 1 tablespoon vanilla • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg Sauce Ingredients: • 1/2 cup butter • 1/2 cup sugar • 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream • 1 tablespoon vanilla Directions for Pudding: Heat oven to 350°F. Combine bread and raisins in large bowl. Combine milk and 1/4 cup butter in 1-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat until butter is melted (4 to 7 minutes). Pour milk mixture over bread; let stand 10 minutes. Stir in all remaining pudding ingredients. Pour into greased 1 1/2-quart casserole. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until set in center. Directions for Sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients except vanilla in 1-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens and comes to a full boil (5 to 8 minutes). Stir in vanilla. To serve, spoon warm pudding into individual dessert dishes; serve with sauce. Store refrigerated
