Meh. Not a fan of the blue cheese flavor in this bread pudding. I would have preferred a more traditional bread pudding recipe.

This was my first time making bread pudding and it was easier than I thought! I used a mix of white and wheat bread, and I added some dried cranberries and walnuts for extra flavor.
