Recipe – apricot bread and butter pudding

November 10, 2013 by Shari 1 Comment

Sometimes in life we need a special treat. Sometimes in life we know someone who could use a special treat. I love offering something special up for someone – an act of kindness. I have a friend who could use some love, and what says love more than a warm bowl of delicious apricot bread and butter pudding (with real vanilla in the custard).

I love making up new recipes, and I love picking up new products off the shelf to try and incorporate into my new recipes.

I’m a sucker for fruit bread and the other day when I was passing the bread section in the grocery store, I saw an apricot loaf that I just had to pick up and try and create something with.
I pulled some apricots out of the fridge that I’d been mashing up for Mr Moo for breakfast and added these to the ramekins, before making a simple custard to fill them up and bake them in the oven. Simple, just like how a good friendship should be.
APRICOT BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING
1 loaf of apricot bread*
4 apricots, halved
1 tablespoon of butter
500mls of cream
3 eggs
1/4 cup of caster sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste
Slice the apricot loaf thinly and then butter the bread and make into sandwiches. Layer the sandwiches into medium ramekins and then add in the apricot halves where there is a gap.
On a stove, bring the cream, eggs, sugar and vanilla to a simmer – constantly whisking, until it begins to thicken. Pour over the sandwiches and allow it to soak into the bread for 5 minutes before baking for 15 minutes at 180 degrees.
Serve with vanilla ice cream.
*if you can’t find apricot bread, I’m sure this would work with brioche

Get in my belly… I’ve been reading a lot abou Get in my belly…

I’ve been reading a lot about self love of late. I feel like there is so much self sacrifice when you’re a mother, and yet I am starting to realise that I need to love myself first to be a better mum and partner.

So here is to starting with something small for me. These @byronbaycookies are the business!!

However, I still seem to feel that mum guilt. I mean, I think I need to do a little more than just follow @drsophiebrock (@smallbusinessgrowthclub has so many good things to say about Sophie)… am I doing enough? Are they happy? Am I creating good memories for them? Am I giving them good life skills and coping tactics? Am I creating enough one on one time with each of them?

I know I’m a people pleaser, a perfectionist (and some … scrap that… most people I know say I am also an over achiever). How do I flip my thinking to focus more on the positive and not be so critical of myself? As I don’t want to pass on this trait to my kids.

Boil the rice. Stir fry the beef. Toss some gem lettuce with black sesame seeds and sushi seasoning. Top it all off with kimchi.

Mine was store bought. @staceyclare_healthcoach have you ever made your own kimchi? Have you got a good recipe?

GoodFoodWeek started in 2008 as a way of sharing recipes with uni friends and family who were spread near and far. It has evolved over the years to contain my ramblings as I’ve searched for a house, planned the perfect veggie patch, stumbled through farmer’s markets with my eye half open (because you need to be there at 6am to get the fresh eggs), had babies, gathered family and friends around a shared table, laughed out loud and enjoyed life to the fullest!
