My top favorites from the Live Well Network:
Motion - every time I watch this show I want to go explore & be adventureous and do my own awesome videos and photos of my adventures. It is really well done, and very inspirational.
Food Truck - this dude owns a couple restaurants, a food truck and a catering company. He has a lot of flavor in his personality and it is a really fun show to watch.
Sweet Retreats - I WANT this lady's job!! This is a enjoyable show that takes you all over the place and you get to view these really amazing houses and apartments.
My Family Recipe Rocks - Joey Fatone...how many of you remember him? He is playful as ever as he travels across the country meeting new people and learning about their family and favorite recipes.
I bring these shows up and this network because I have had many enjoyable moments relaxing in front of the tv watching these shows. The other reason is the featured recipe of today - a Pumpkin Caramel Praline Bread Pudding, which was featured on My Family Recipe Rocks with Carnie Wilson. She shared the recipe and details on how to make it. With encouragement from my boyfriend I tried the recipe, WOW! It was pretty easy and incredibly delicious!! I credit all photos, videos, etc used in this sharing of recipe to the show & its creators of My Family Recipe Rocks. I shall share a photo of my own Pumpkin Caramel Bread Pudding soon - (I left out the pralines in my recipe) I did not use "challah" bread, but I found something that seemed "eggy" as that was part of the description of challah bread online-and it still turned out great!

Ingredients Print Recipe
Directions
1. Grease a 13x9 pan and the sides, too. 2. Place 1/2 of the cut bread cubes into a single layer into prepared pan.
3. Sprinkle half the bag of white choc chips all over bread cubes starting in a corner and working your way towards center.
4. Place the rest of bread cubes over it.
5. Sprinkle remaining half of chips in same pattern.
6. In a large mixing bowl; crack eggs. No shells! Add the sugars, cream, half and half, maple syrup, caramel , pumpkin Cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
7. Whisk until all ingredients are well combined and the sugars are pretty well dissolved.
8. Slowly, and carefully pour the combined ingredients all over bread cubes, starting at one corner and circling around the pan to each end - finishing in middle. You should use just about all the liquid - you might have a half a cup or so extra. Do not over saturate.
9. Wet hands with liquid Mixture and push down with your hands until you hear juicy squishy sounds. Feel the density and liquid amount in each area, making sure that all the liquid is evenly distributed.
Do this for a minute all over. Wash your hands.
10. In a medium bowl, add the brown sugar, pecans, butter, cinnamon and salt.
11. Mix with both hands with pinching motions (both hands and fingertips like a crab pinching) until it's combined and crumbly.
12. Sprinkle this mixture evenly on top of bread mixture. Pat down, tucking in all sides and corners slightly.
13. Let it sit for 10 minutes or overnight covered in foil in your fridge!
14. Preheat oven to 350.
15. Bake in center rack for about 45 minutes or until puffing, golden brown and sizzling. Check with a knife inserted in center - if comes out pretty clean ( minus a white chip that's melted) you are good to go. Normal for center to be just slightly more loose than edges. But you don't want raw. You'll know.
16. Cut with a sharp knife into a row of four one way and three the other way. It makes 12 pieces . Put on a serving platter and drizzle each piece with lots of that gooey love.
17. Get an extra fork to stab yourself in the eyeball. After you eat this! Enjoy!
A photo of what I made - it was absolutely delicious and excellent when paired with ice cream and a little caramel drizzle...and some berries!
