Description

Whether you choose to call it Lughnasadh or Lammas isn’t important, what is important, however, is taking the time to celebrate the first harvest sabbat. This is a time to come together as a community to break bread and appreciate the abundance of the season. Baking a loaf of bread, gathering wild flowers, or making a corn dolly are just a few ways to honor this lovely liminal space between the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. As we take this quiet, rainy walk through the woods, envision all the ways you’ll choose to mark this moment on the witch’s calendar.

Bread Pudding 

• 1 loaf day-old bread cubed into 1-inch pieces
• 5 large eggs lightly beaten
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 4 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. 
• Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Place the cubed bread into the prepared baking dish and spread it around into an even layer. Set aside.
• In a very large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon until fully combined. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread in the prepared baking pan, making sure all of the bread is coated. Allow to sit and soak up the mixture for about 15 minutes.
• Once the 15 minutes is over, place the bread pudding in the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until the top is set.
• Enjoy!
