Author Notes

Mom loves a good bread pudding, and so do I. Here I have kicked up a family classic that my mom makes and her mom and grandmom before. Although my family tree is rooted in the south...Texas to be exact, here is a spin nontheless. I have included orange juice and orange zest as well as caramel sauce to change things up a bit. —"NASA" Dave
