How are you feeling hon'? I hope you are doing great. I just read your post about your chocolate bread pudding in the crock pot! Ummmm, that sounds divine!! I use my crock pot all the time and have always wanted to make a bread pudding. Can you share the recipe? If you can and have the time, post here or you can email it to me at j_podgurski@yahoo.com.

Thanks so much!!!!! It sounds yummy!!!

    I've been feeling pretty good, just tired what with the toddler and being pregnant and working..........well, you know what I mean! (and you're carrying two!)

    I just had some of the bread pudding and it was pretty good, very rich, but bread pudding always is.  I'll try and post the recipe once I'm home and you can give it a try.

     How's everything with you?

    Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck.  Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.

    Excellent!!! Huge Thanks!!! I love rich and chocolate together, esp. being pregnant!..ha..ha. I'm feeling alright, things are getting much, much more difficult. And I don't want to scare you but having a toddler in the 3rd trimester is the hardest thing...EVER! I love her to pieces, but everything to a toddler is fun and games which makes potty training and just plain getting her dressed such a difficult time. My patience is waning....that's why I need the chocolate bread pudding!..ha..ha!!!!! At least I'm not working..that must be tough for you..and getting ready for Christmas. It's such a hectic time of year to be huge, in pain and exhausted..ha!

    Omg, I just noticed that you are only one week behind me!!!! So you already know how difficult the 3rd tri is with a happy and extremely active toddler! And it just snowed yesterday which turned to ice today. I was too afraid to leave the house for fear of falling. I have no balance anymore!! ; )))

    I too dread going out in the snow.  I said something to my doctor yesterday about how I feel a lot of pressure when I'm walking the 5 to 10 blocks into work everyday and how I worry about slipping on the ice and snow and all he responded with was that I should be careful and that it's normal to feel the pressure earlier this time around.  Hello!  What I wanted him to say was how he'd give me a handicap sticker so that I could park right across the street from where I work instead of having to use one of the distant parking lots.  No such luck I guess.

    Well, the bread pudding was a hit at my work party so here's the recipe:

     Chocolate Coffee Bread Pudding

    1 cup butter

    1/4 cup sugar

    1 tsp. ground cinnamon

    4 eggs

    1 1/2 cups chocolate milk

    1/4 strong coffee

    1/2 cup currants

    1/2 cup raisins - optional

    1/2 cup milk chocolate chips 

    1 cup chopped pecans, toasted

    4 cups stale white break broken into bite size pieces  (I found that three slices of bread makes a little over a cup)

    In a bowl, beat the butter, sugar and cinnamon with a mixer.  Add the eggs and beat until fluffy.  Mix in the chocolate milk, coffee, currants and raisins.  Fold in the chocolate chips, pecans and bread cubes.  Pour into  a lightly greased crock pot.  Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or on high for 2.5 to 3 hours.

    For a 5, 6 or 7 quart crock pot you can double the recipe (which is what I did). 

    If you try it let me know if you like it.

    AWESOME!!! Thank you so very much for putting this in a post, I know it must be a pain in the butt. I can't believe you walk to work now...are you crazy, lady?...ha..ha. Breathing the nice cool air must feel good though. Just be very careful, and I hope you don't plan to walk to work your entire pregnancy. I give you props!!!! Thanks again, sweetie!! This recipe looks awesome, I think I'm going to make it for my Christmas celebration with my inlaws this Saturday. Thanks again!!! : )))
