Sister Schubert, aka Patricia Barnes, made a whole bunch of new “sisters” at this year’s Megaphone Summit Foodie Friday when she shared this Cinnamon Bread Pudding! Plus, along the way, she shared some life lessons she has learned while becoming the “roll lady.” Barnes travels the world promoting good food and good deeds—both ways to “share warmth” with friends just met and people loved most.

Foodie Friday was held at the gorgeous Pratt Place Inn and Barn, a true jewel of a place in Fayetteville. The day was beautiful, the weather a little breezy and the company and speakers were amazing. Sister paid us the highest compliment when she said, “These are my people.”
Don’t you just love that?
When she arrived Thursday evening, she jumped right in the middle of our bread pudding preparations showing us some of her tricks with the dish. For example, Sister says to always put the raisins in the bottom of the baking dish. Otherwise, she says the raisins will get too brown if they are placed on top. She also suggested that you just might want to use a pan and a half of her frozen cinnamon bread rolls. Be sure to push the bread cubes (we cut cubes, she tore cubes) down into the custard so that they get thoroughly soaked.
Oh, and don’t skip soaking the raisins in the bourbon. Woops!

Attendees received an autographed copy of her cookbook Celebrations From the Heart, co-authored with Betty Sims. Proceeds from the sale of Celebrations go to 3 foundations near to Sister’s heart:
Many thanks to the best kitchen crew EVER! Kellee Mayfield and Jodi Coffee, you are incredible.
Thanks as well to Talya Boerner, Keisha McKinney and Lyndi Fultz for handling the registration and for pitching in whereever and whenever it was needed. You guys are pretty darn special yourselves.

I don't care for the taste of rum so I substitute vanilla or maple flavoring and, typically, use coffee to replace the rum.Notes
