This is one of those "reminds me of Grandpa" recipes because he used to make something very close to this around the holidays and Lent.  His version though (the traditional version) is a bit more complicated and with way more ingredients.  It used to be a family favorite growing up but no one makes it anymore, and to be honest no one can measure up to my grandpas' Bread Pudding which we call Capirotada.  For this particular bread pudding though I went the easy route and used as few ingredients as I could without sacrificing loosing too much of the memory and good flavor.  Turned out to be simple, moist, and quite tasty.  Hope you enjoy!

Remember the Basil & Garlic Butter?  Here it is in action again.  I should probably warn you though....these are addicting.

One common mistake I have been guilty of in the past is to leave the Dressing (AKA stuffing)  for the holidays only.  I know I know, that's just silly.  Especially during these somewhat cold days when winter is coming to an end and spring is around the corner, and warm soup is still a croud pleaser.  There isn't much to it if you have had a little bit of practice either.  For this recipe I used four-day-old bread (an experiment gone bad) which turned out to be oh so yummy when I used it to make this dressing.  This is probably something that many people know about, but as you may already know, I am still and always learning :)  So the next time you have leftover stale bread, don't throw it away, make dressing!  You can use any bread!
