The first time I made my Grandma’s Old-Fashioned Bread Pudding, my kitchen filled with the most comforting scent. It smelled like warm cinnamon, toasted bread, and sweet vanilla—just like her house used to. As it baked, that golden, puffed-up top looked like a hug in a baking dish. Letting it cool just enough before pouring on the warm vanilla sauce was pure torture. But that first spoonful, creamy and rich with a hint of spice, was worth the wait. It tasted like love and memory, and I knew I’d keep making it forever.
