If You Don't Eat Meat, You Can Have Some Bread Pudding

Okay, not a Pink Floyd fan. But I couldn't resist the pudding reference. Sorry. I'd actually share a slice of my Chocolate Chip Coconut Bread Pudding with you, even if you do eat meat. But it might steer you away from the dark side:

This creamy bread pudding will be included in my cookbook, so I won't divulge the recipe. But as you can see, it contains melty chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and chunks of slightly-stale sourdough bread. I rarely eat white bread, but I'll occasionally splurge with some sourdough. This pudding would be delicious made with whole wheat bread too, I'm sure.

I ate some for breakfast, drizzled with Sweet Vanilla Sauce:

It's never too early for dessert, right? Can you believe I'd never even tried bread pudding until last Easter? My friend Sheridan and I made a strawberry bread pudding for an Easter/Spring picnic. The idea of wet bread used to gross me out, but one bite and I realized the bread actually becomes creamy and delicious rather than soggy. I think I'll have some more for breakfast tomorrow.

Does this mean you're at the dessert section of your cookbook and it's almost done?
