But being Italians, we always have to add one of our traditional Italian dishes to the mix. Thanksgiving and Easter it is usually a lasagne. Christmas Eve it might be ...
Bread Pudding With A Whiskey Sauce
This is my recipe for a warm bread pudding with a whiskey sauce. It is great for getting rid of some of your bread that is getting ready to go stale. I like to make it with a loaf or two of french baguette. Just had it for one of our Christmas dinner desserts. I was glad to see a bunch of empty plates.

Luckily I got over this many many years ago. But every ...
