big mistake...

since i've been cutting out crusty sweetness for the laste couple of weeks, i've had a leftover biscuit issue. well, the munchkin still likes her morning biscuits. and since my favorite trader joe's biscuits only come in the 8 pack...i've been storing the leftovers in the cookie jar. at any rate, upon the suggestion of my dear mommy, i decided to make some bread pudding for dessert to make use of the stash. bad idea.  and i even decided to let myself indulge a little since i've been doing so well with my little addiction. one slice as a little reward right? i just  ran in to get one more little sliver.. see.. this is how it starts:-(

at any rate, it turned out super yummy for my first try... i swear i could smell it from the street.  i over did it on the vanilla extract and added a little brown sugar on top just for good measure.
