Apple Bread Pudding for Babies and Kids

First I like to thank all the lovely moms out there for the feedback emails I received regarding my food recipe published on the Bumps n Baby. Thanks a lot Sangeetha, I am truly inspired by you! Today’s recipe is Apple Bread Pudding for babies which can be equally appealing for adults too

I think one of the greatest pleasure of moms is to try new recipes for our kids and if they like and asks for more …oh my god …oh my god …we will be jumping in the air with happiness.

My one year old Rithvik liked this dish so much and he wide opened his tiny mouth for more by asking and pointing “ammaaa…athu,amma ithu……”

Wishing u all a wonderful year ahead …..Happy Vishu and Tamil New Year !!
