Thanksgivukkah Addition - 3 special recipes!!!

Happy Thanksgivukkah!!

This is a special Thanksgiving in that as you all know it is also Hanukkah! Last night was the first night of Hanukkah, so I am going to share a special recipe for Jill's Custard Noodle Pudding:

Ingredients:

• 12 oz noodles
• 1 can evaporated milk
• 4 eggs
• 1 c water
• 1/2 c sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 tbs margarine
• 1 c cornflakes

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. While cooking the noodles according to the package mix together the eggs, evaporated milk, vanilla, sugar and water. 

Once noodles are cooked add them to the mixture and mix until coated. 

Spray dish with cooking spray and pour mixture into dish. Melt margarine and add crushed cornflakes. Mix until cornflakes are coated with margarine. Add to noddle mixture on top. 

 Cook for 1 hour and ENJOY! This is my favorite recipe for noodle pudding and I'm glad to share it with all of you! Thanks Jill for sharing your recipe with us. :)

 This next recipe my mom found in the family circle magazine. We wanted to have a special breakfast on Thanksgiving morning, so I made Bacon Bread Pudding.

Ingredients:

• 6 oz diced bacon (I used bacon bits instead)
• 4 eggs
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 loaf brioche or challah bread, cubed into 1-inch pieces (about 12 cups)

Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a skillet, cook bacon unless you are lazy like me and opt to use bacon bits. Set the bacon aside. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk, Stir in bacon and cheese. 

Stir in bread cubes, coating well with egg mixture. Set aside for 10 minutes, stirring every once in awhile to coat with egg mixture. 

Transfer bread-egg mixture to a 2-quart baking dish. Cover with foil. 

Bake at 350 for 35 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10 to 15 minutes, until browned and eggs are set (a knife inserted will come out clean). Allow bread pudding to cool 10 minutes before serving. Feel free to top with syrup if you want. I preferred it without.

The final recipe idea I'd like to share I found on Pinterest. I was asked to bring fruit to Thanksgiving today and wanted to do something fun. I found this idea while searching "Thanksgiving Fruit Platter"

There were many ways to create a "Turkey" Fruit Platter. I used an apple for the Turkey's body and then layered grapes, raspberries, blueberries and pineapple. For the Turkey's face I put raisins on toothpicks for the eyes and cheese for the nose and feet. Use your favorite fruit to layer on a flat platter. I hope this is a hit today!

Stay tuned for 2 dessert recipes over the weekend! I have lots to be thankful for this year!!!!
