For those of you who don’t need real recipes and just like to play around in the kitchen, here’s one for you:

When the kids make their school lunches, they don’t eat the end pieces of the loaf of bread, so we save them in the freezer. I defrosted a bunch of slices of whole wheat bread (8?) and a banana (if you find a banana getting too old on the counter, just freeze it and bake with it later). 

Mash the banana. Tear up the bread in little pieces in a large glass bowl. Add a few eggs, a bit of milk, sprinkle on cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger.

Cook it up in a buttered pan like french toast and serve with maple syrup, almond slices and raisins.

So much faster than baking bread pudding in the oven! And keeps your kitchen cooler too!
