Did Anyone Say "Let's Cook?!?!"

Teens had fun working together at the "Let's Cook!" program on Monday, July 20th and created the delicious dessert "Microwave Bread Pudding." A lot of people actually like to eat this dish with their breakfast as well. Here's the recipe we used:

"MICROWAVE BREAD PUDDING"
