My New Favorite Dessert

I have always loved bread pudding...it is the best combination of yummy bread, milk, eggs, and sugar. Last year I had bread pudding at a local restaurant that was made out of cubed cinnamon rolls...yum! I have kept that idea in the back of my head and finally made it today. OH MY GOODNESS!!! You have to try this!

CINNAMON ROLL BREAD PUDDING WITH CHOCOLATE AND BANANAS

6 Cinnamon rolls (these are nice large rolls, frosted, and I used some mini chocolate chips in them too! I froze them so I wouldn't eat all of them the last time I made cinnamon rolls and then let them defrost for 15 minutes before cutting)
3 eggs
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sugar
1 banana, sliced
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips to sprinkle on top
Small can of sweetened condensed milk (if you want to go way overboard...it is worth it!!)

Cube the cinnamon rolls and set aside

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla, salt, and sugar. Add the milk and stir. Add the cubed rolls and fold the liquids in.

Pour the bread mixture into a 9x13 greased pan. Distribute the bananas evenly throughout the pan, putting them over and under the bread. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (I left it in there for 6 hours today and it was fine).

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place pan in middle of oven. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out almost clean.

Pour sweetened condensed milk over entire pan or individual servings...serve warm!

Pre-Pro-Wrestler???

Check this out! Grace and Ashley (our neighbor's kid) are the same age, but Ashley weighs at least 10 pounds more than Grace, but guess who has the bully child? That's right, ME. I'm trying not to laugh in the background, and I feel a bit guilty for filming instead of breaking up the fight, but it was just too funny! I couldn't resist!
