My friend Charmian Christie of The Messy Baker wrote this incredible cookbook called the 3-Ingredient Baking Book. It’s filled with 101 amazing dessert recipes. Everything from cookies to ice cream, and even cheesecakes! They are all simple and stress-free recipes that are also great for kids to help with. I picked up my copy from Costco, but it’s also available at Indigo or Amazon. Cover image by Lauren Miller.

Why this bread pudding is so great:

All you need to make this easy bread pudding recipe is eggnog (homemade or store-bought), cinnamon raisin bread, and eggs. It’s a great way to use up leftover eggnog and day-old bread. It’s also a great make-ahead dish for breakfast or brunch. It’s so simple to make, yet yields a luxurious bread pudding that is soft and creamy and oh so flavourful. It’s like French toast but even better! Here are some reviews:
