| Bread Pudding (Sugar Free)
Submitted by Mary Fowler Ingredients: 1 (20 ounce) loaf French bread 1 quart milk 3 eggs 2 cups granular sucrolose sweetener (such as Splenda®) 2 tablespoons vanilla 3 tablespoons margarine, melted 1 cup raisins Sauce: 1 cup granular sucrolose sweetener (such as Splenda®) 1 egg ½ cup margarine, melted ¼ cup whiskey, or to taste 1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease a 9x13 baking dish. 2. Break bread into pieces, and place into a large bowl. Pour milk over bread, and crush with your hands until well blended. Stir in 3 eggs, 2 cups sweetener, vanilla, 3 tablespoons margarine, and raisins until evenly mixed. Transfer to the prepared pan. 3. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes in the preheated oven, or until very firm. 4. To make the sauce: In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup sweetener and 1 egg until smooth. Gradually mix in the melted margarine, and continue stirring to dissolve sweetener. If the sauce is difficult to blend, it may be heated gently, but be careful not to curdle the egg. Gradually stir in whiskey which should make the sauce creamy smooth. 5. To Serve: Allow pudding to cool completely, then cut into cubes, and place into individual heat proof serving dishes. Pour sauce over, and heat under the broiler until golden, about 3 minutes. Servings per Recipe: 24, Calories 189 |

| The Chardonnay Travelers had 27 members attend this outing set in beautiful green rolling hills near the San Luis Reservoir. Some of the members visited the reservoir and visitor center. Others went to The Pinnacles National Park, about 40 miles from the RV Park. There are immense rock pinnacles, caves and hiking trails. Another point of interest that members visited was San Juan Bautista, about 25 miles from the park, where there is a mission, some quaint shops, restaurants and a historical state park. There were golf courses near, but it rained part of the weekend so golf was not an option for this outing. There were also local wineries to go to. Our weekend theme was an Irish theme for St. Patrick’s Day. Wearing of the green was encouraged. We had an Irish movie Friday night and a local Irish dance class entertained us Saturday night. Ages of the girls were 5 to 24 and everyone really enjoyed the dancing.
Despite the rain, we all had a great weekend. Thank you to the Wagon Masters, Dave and Twillah Reimers and Pat and Susan Winn for a job well done. (Submitted by Gloria Anderson) |
