It takes a plain can of traditional Pork and Beans and dresses it up in a new and unexpected way. Great for a barbecue side dish or a summer brunch, you can keep it basic or add chocolate chips or bacon
It wasn’t until about a year ago that I was introduced to my first bite of Bread Pudding. I had heard of it but it didn’t sound all that appealing to me for some reason. Maybe it was the idea that it was made from stale bread. Maybe it was […]
