Guys, I’m totally there. It’s full on fall mode over here and I’m dishing up one dangerous treat for you today. But be happy, you can have all this decadence and feel good about it. I mean… it’s got some good-for-you-things packed into every bite like whole grains, eggs, pumpkin and tart cherries.

I love the fall season and the flavors that it brings—ahem, pumpkin! But did you know tart is on trend? Sour flavors are exploding in the food scene and Montmorency tart cherries have a unique sour-sweet taste that is sure to satisfy that sweet tooth.

The combo of tart, sweet, and savory in this Pumpkin Bread Pudding is to.die.for.gooood! You will want seconds. and thirds. and if you’re like me you will find yourself eating dessert for breakfast. Or maybe that’s just my pregnant brain talking out loud… true story.

When you make this treat—serve it to a crowd because you won’t be able to resist just once slice. Savor every last bite and share it with some friends so you can still fit into your holiday dress. Better yet, find a local a pregnant lady to deliver it to… with only three-ish weeks until D-day, I can’t fit into any of my clothes anyways.

    […] Maybe this frenzy is because we don’t technically get fall here in central Florida, so I try to make up for the fact that the weather may never cool off with my festive fall decor. Or maybe it’s just because fall marks the start of the most wonderful time of the year. So, I’ll just crank down the AC and get all happy about the house feeling fallish and smelling like pumpkin bread. […]
