Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This was the go to dessert of past generations to keep the bread from going to waste each week. Wendi's dad, Charles Davis Wilson, won't eat Bread Pudding to this day because he said his mom, Wanda Davis Wilson (from whom this recipe was received) made it so often and he ate so much of it as a kid in the 40's.

But we all LOVE New Orleans! And after having a bread pudding that was richer and had that wonderful Bourbon sauce over top, Wendi was sold. After researching several recipes and tweaking them herself, she came up with this one.
