Happy Fall Y'all!

'Tis the season! And while it feels NOTHING like Autumn here in Central Florida, I'm trying to pretend that it IS fall. Around here, fall generally falls sometime around Christmas...if not January.


In honor of the first day of the season, i'm going to share a yummy, healthy-ish, fall APPLE dessert that showed up in my inbox today! So after you hit the orchards (yeah, we don't get to do that here either), whip some up!


Apple and Caramel Bread Pudding

Soymilk and fat-free ingredients offer a health twist to delicious bread pudding. From http://www.eatbetteramerica.com

Super Egg Substitutes
  • Egg whites provide the protein from eggs but don't contain the cholesterol found in egg yolks. That's good news for your heart.
Success
  • Bread pudding made with a bread that's too soft can be very soft and almost mushy. Gently squeeze bread loaves to choose the one that has some resistance and doesn't feel like a marshmallow!
 I can't wait to whip this up myself. It looks soooo good!
