Hello Christine~
Are you the author of the “slow cooker breakfast pumpkin bread pudding” recipe? I received an email from “Real Simple” with a link to the recipe that lead me to “Cook your Story”, but with no recipe. Any help finding the recipe would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I’m sorry, Deanna, but I removed that recipe from COOKtheSTORY because further testing made it clear that it did not always work correctly. I’m so sorry about that! I’m not sure why they would be linking to a recipe that hasn’t been up for years.
What comprehensive collection of recipes! Thanks for including my Pecan Crusted, Salted, Spiced Caramel Pumpkin Pie!
