Talk about comfort food.. this yummy bread pudding has it all! I served this last week after rib eye steak with blue cheese cream sauce. My husband said this is exactly what he would of ordered down to the dessert if we were at a restaurant. that goes to show you the dessert is REALLY that good :) I'm actually not a huge fan of cherries but loved every bite of this bread pudding. it was a perfect warm dessert on a cold night. Surprisingly, only 285 calories per serving this dessert gives you all the pleasure without all the pain. :) Enjoy!
