My feed is saturated with all of the s'mores content so I thought I would jump in! These s'mores made with Grammies Crackers were deliciously messy 😊.

On my list of many things is creating a family cookbook. Getting things measured and written out versus the "just vibes" approach has been a fun project! This Mamallena or Panamanian Bread Pudding is now done. Here's the recipe if you all are interested!

1 challah loaf (16 oz) or about 10 cups of 1-inch cubes of bread, left out for a day
3 eggs, room temperature
2 cups milk, room temperature
1 can of condensed milk
½ tsp kosher salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla paste
½ cup raisins, optional

Preheat oven to 350 deg F and spray a 9 x 9 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Add cubed bread to the baking pan.

To a medium bowl, add the three eggs and beat well. Add condensed milk, milk, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract/paste to the bowl and mix well. Pour liquid mixture over bread cubes and gently push bread down to soak in the liquid.

Bake for 35 - 45 minutes until center is set and/or reaches 165 deg F when tested with a thermometer. Serve warm and store in refrigerator. Enjoy!

I found myself with an abundance of blueberries and mascarpone cheese so it was time to make cheesecake bars! I used Liz Buuck | BuuckFarmsBakery mascarpone cheesecake bars recipe and it was so delicious and not too sweet! I used Dutch Waffle Company - Famously Fresh Stroopwafels pie crust, Rising Star Baking Supply vanilla bean paste, and of course Vital Farms amazing eggs and butter!
