Toasted Pumpkin Bread Pudding

Shortbread Tart Shell

I’m sitting in my backyard taking advantage of the wonderful Easter Sunday weather.  From time to time, I hear screaming and giggling dancing from my neighbor’s yard.  All 12 of their grandchildren are scavenging for the brightly colored plastic eggs that were hidden in every available crevice early this morning.

Chocolate, White Chocolate and Raspberry Brownies
