Hello Carolyn,

I couln't resist posting the recipe for Bread Pudding and Whiskey Sauce made at the Leaf 'N Ladle Restaurant in Valparaiso, FL.

You may have read in previous posts how I was enchanted with this restaurant and its delicious food.

I definitly gained weight on this pudding...I ate it almost everyday I worked there, oh was it ever so good. I coaxed the owners into giving me the recipe and I watched them make it so I could learn. It is a beauty!!

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!! GinaLeaf 'n Ladle Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce
