Bread Pudding with Prosecco Raisin Sauce

I love bread pudding. The first time I had it was with my Gram at Michael's, a restaurant in Rochester, MN. Gram was shocked that I never had bread pudding before, since it was her usual dish to use up old dry bread. A delicasy to me, and pretty much leftovers to her. I've ordered elseware since, but could never quite get the same thing. I've been fooling around with the recipes I've seen. Of course don't like Burbon, a common ingredient for the sauce, so why not try it with wine.

Welcome to The Unhostess!

Yes, this blog is all about hosting, but perhaps in a beyond conventional sense of the word. So watch me dine, drink, design, and decorate.

 

Like all good things, I'm going to kick off this new blog with my favorite bottle of wine, Meditrina, Cheers!
