British Toad in a Hole

British Toad in a Hole

Toad in the Hole is budget-friendly English comfort food that is easy to whip up for a simple weeknight dinner or hearty lunch. Best of all, this recipe takes almost no time at all to prepare, using basic, inexpensive kitchen staples you probably already have in your pantry for the batter, and your choice of sausages. British bangers are traditional, but if you can't find English pork or veal sausages where you are, you can use what is available.

Rum Raisin Bread Pudding with Apples

Rum Raisin Bread Pudding with Apples

This rum raisin bread pudding is classic comfort food, studded with rum-soaked raisins, chunks of fresh apple, and a creamy egg custard. I like it best served warm, with either a caramel or custard sauce, whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or even rum raisin ice cream to take it over the top!
