Tropical Bread Pudding with Rum Sauce

I know it's the middle of winter but we had some leftover Hawiian Rolls and you know I'm all about the desserts. So this idea just came to mind... I've never made a bread pudding before but it sounded good.

My Husband asked me why I was making this because I don't like bread pudding. You see the problem is that I dont like wet bread. The thought of it makes me gag... so I am not sure why this sounded so good. I will say I was disapointed when I first tried it out of the oven, it was very much like I expected. Very Wet Bread. But, the next day, it was so magnificently wonderful! More like a very moist cake full of flavors of coconut and pineapple. Wonderfully delicious, and made even better topped with a Rum Sauce. SO GOOD! Wish I had some more right now!

Ingredients:
10 - 12 Hawaiian Rolls
1 cup milk
1 cup cream of coconut
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1 8oz can pineapple
1 cup sweetened coconut

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Break bread into small pieces into an 9 inch square baking pan. Sprinkle with coconut.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, cream of coconut, sugar, pineapple, and vanilla. Beat until well mixed. Pour over bread, and lightly push down with a fork until bread is covered and soaking up the egg mixture. Let sit for 10 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly tapped.

Italian Feast Part 1 - Spaghetti alla Carbonara

Ok, so I can't just make Cannoli, nope... gotta have something to go with it and since I was making Cannoli... I decided to do a whole Italian Feast! After seeing this recipe on Living in the Kitchen with Puppies , I knew I had to make it. Spaghetti alla Carbonara Recipe courtesy Nigella Lawson Ingredients: 1 pound spaghetti 2 cups cubed pancetta rind removed (I used bacon) 2 teaspoons olive oil 1/4 cup dry white wine or vermouth 4 eggs 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan 1/4 cup heavy cream Freshly ground black pepper Freshly ground nutmeg Directions Put a large pan of water on to boil for the pasta. In another large pan that will fit the pasta later, cook the pancetta cubes in the oil until crispy but not crunchy. Pour over the white wine or vermouth and let it bubble away so that, after a few minutes, you have a small amount of salty winey syrup left. Take the pan off the heat. In a bowl, beat together the eggs, Parmesan, cream, and pepper. Cook the pasta accor
