Gingerbread and Butter Pudding
October brings many comforting smells to the senses, leaves, apple, cinnamon, caramel. But one of the most comforting scents is gingerbread. That overwhelming level of ginger, subtle nutmeg, a hint of cloves, it's all so warming. Pair that with brioche and well, stick a fork in me; because I am done.
So as we head in to my favourite month, I am here to enfold you in all of my favourite things. From this amazing pudding, to autumn wreath making, Halloween table setting, devouring mac and cheese or consuming an abundance of squash. Oh my gourd, its going to be amazing. See what I did there...
