Cornbread, in an iron skillet, a country pleasure.
Do you remember Jo Northrop’s Simple Country Pleasures, at Country Living Magazine? The feature was an extra special delight of the publication. When Jo passed away, the column ended. Recently, Country Living included Simple Country Pleasures, again.
Like Country Living Magazine’s Simple Country Pleasures, Country Pleasures blog is all about the pleasures of simple country living. Sue, who lives in the Ozarks, is a fabulous cook and crafter. She also writes a wonderful blog.
Last weekend, Sue’s church held a Fall Fest. One of the events, included in the fest, was an auction of baked goods, with proceeds going to feed the hungry.
Blueberry Bread Pudding was one of the desserts Sue prepared. The recipe sounded so good, I decided to give it a try.
Sue’s Blueberry Bread Pudding brought $25, at the auction.
If you haven’t met Sue, please stop by sometime. You can find Country Pleasures, at this LINK.
Blueberry Bread Pudding
1 loaf blueberry crumble bread
1 c. frozen or fresh blueberries
4 eggs
12 oz. can evaporated milk
1/2 c. butter
2 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350. Melt butter in microwave for one min. In a large bowl combine milk and butter, mix well. Tear bread into bite size pieces and add to milk mixture. Add remaining ingredients and blend well, adding more milk if needed. Mixture should be moist but not too soggy. Transfer into a 9x13 baking pan and bake for 30-40 min. Drizzle cream cheese or vanilla frosting on top once cooled.
I used about 2 tablespoons of prepared Duncan Hines cream cheese frosting, heated in the microwave for about 5 seconds. There is plenty of frosting left over; a very good excuse for making a little batch of cupcakes.
Delicious!

Getaway Hint

Foodie Friday is BAD BAD BAD for diets!!! That looks so yummy! I love the cornbread picture too.
Thank you Pat for the lovely plug and post, I really enjoyed Country Livings simple country pleasures and am glad it's back! I'm honored you featured me, thanks again! Enjoy this lovely sunshine too!
I'm going to guess that your Getaway Hint is Chateau on the Lake at Branson (unless there is a duplicate someplace else.) It is a beautiful resort on Table Rock Lake!
I love the food ideas and pictures. Everything looks great. I've been on a 'blog vacation' for a time, but I'm back visiting you today.

I'll be sure to check it all out, Pat, and congrats on your honor. You deserve it!
XO,

Looks so yummy Pat!!
Perfect for Fall!!!
Your pictures are the best!

Yummy, I love cornbread, especially with chili.
Oh Pat, that blueberry bread pudding looks delish!
Hugs!

last week i saw a new cast iron skillet, but thought i'd never use it...that and the seasoning process which takes patience. maybe later in the winter!
I can make a meal just off the cornbread and yes it has to be in an iron skillet.
The Pudding looks amazing girl. I love that bread for toast. One of my late clients got me started on that. We had it each morning with coffee when I walked in her door.
Hope things are going good and the water problem is fixed.

Congratulations on being featured. The bread pudding looks and sounds so good. I knew that Country Living quit publishing Simply Country Pleasures , but did not know the writer had passed away.

Ah, yes..I love the Simple Pleasures...
Great food photo of the cornbread and I am 'guessing" that Branson is the hint!! :O)
First off, Pat, I didn't know Jo Northrop passed away and it breaks my heart. She wrote like a friend. All of her adventures antiquing and going to sales out in the country...I remember when she lost her dear husband, it was so sad. Well, at least I know now.
On a good note, I LOVE blueberry anything, so I am taking this recipe and I will be sure to try it as soon as I can. And I am going to visit your friend's blog. Thanks so much!

I still make blueberry muffins from CL 1981 ...
"Big Beautiful Muffins" was the name of the 4 page article....The pages are tattered and yellow-ed with age.
gotta love it
Hi Pat! Bread pudding is Mr. Precious' favorite. This sounds and looks so good! I have a big bowl like your cream and blue pottery in the background of your photo. I bought it at a roadside shop and they were selling this huge bowl for $5 and told me it had held head cheese. I don't know what that is, but it sounds awful, doesn't it?
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Oh that bread pudding looks really yummy.
It turned a tiny bit cooler and all I want to do is bake and cook :)
Hugs, Donna
Sounds and looks quite delicious.
Pat, my husband may come to MO to personally thank you after I fix this, since he loves blueberry anything! It looks so good. Thanks for sharing the recipe, and thanks for the referrals to some other blogs. laurie
That looks so delicious! I can almost smell it!~Patti
As always you are just tempting me
Yum-yum! Oh, that cornbread harks back to my youth. We had cornbread pretty much every night for supper. I use to crumble it up in milk at night for my snack. Have you heard of doing this? It was just what we did out in the country. I shall check out the link. Thanks!
Brenda
That looks so good! We love blueberries around here, so I'll have to try this. Have a great weekend!
OMGoodness! I made cornbread in the iron skillet a few weeks ago... took pics with intentions of blogging but never got around to it. (all that rain we had put me in a funk!)
There's just nothing like it tho!! I added honey and Agave to mine and it was heaven. He had it with homemade vegi beef soup.
This blueberry bread pudding looks devine, I'm going to try it!
Off to finish catching up with you~
That looks delicious, Pat.. And I just scarfed down a piece of Irish Soda bread ..I had tucked a loaf I baked away for a rainy day..AND the sun is out, but who cares..
OK, this NY gal hasn't been too far from home, so you are going to have to give bigger hints! :)
And congrats!
(that was me above, saw a typo!)
I've been noticing bread pudding showing up as a dessert in restaurants hight and low. Thanks for the recipe. Think I'll try it out on my weekend house guests.
Oh boy, all these wonderful recipes in blogland are going to do me in LOL Here is another one I will be trying soon. Thank you.
Yum, Pat. This looks and sounds delicious.
Congratulations on being featured. I'm heading over right now.
Oh Pat, this looks like it would melt in my mouth....I have never seen blueberry bread here in Colorado...might have to look around. I will also check out your neighbors blog !

That cornbread looks so good! I agree with Julie who commented earlier--Foodie Friday makes it hard not to want to run to the kitchen and eat something. :-)
Hope you have a wonderful weekend, Pat!
Blueberries are a big favorite of mine. Thanks for this recipe!
I always love to visit here. It's controlled and thoughtful and lovely to look at. I love the recipe for the blueberry bread pudding and will attempt it during the holidays when there are more people around. Have a great weekend.
I didn't know there was such a thing as blueberry crumble bread. My husband loves bread pudding of all kinds. He would really like this one. Sue
This recipe looks great. Your blog is wonderful too!
Oh my goodness Pat! So yummy! The bread pudding looks so delish I'm instantly hungry. :)
I'm sure with all those good blueberries this is a most excellent healthy dessert. My all time favorite is any kind of bread pudding!! Hugs

Oh, the memories of Jo Northrop. I always read her Country Pleasures first! Elizabeth H
The very words 'Country PLeasures' give me a warm feeling. There are some great links here which I shall follow. I love both the US and UK versions of Country Living magazine, I've bought the UK one right from its very first issue and still have a subscription. Great post Pat- you always have such inspiring photos on your blog - especially of food!
