Bruschetta breakfast

I have tried so many recipes from The Bee's food section, and they were all good. Now I need some help. I am looking for a bruschetta recipe using cheese, basil, tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I don't know the amounts of these ingredients. I use it on sourdough bread and broil it a few minutes. It's my favorite breakfast. I hope someone can help. Thank you.

Black Oak's bread pudding

My wife and I have been traveling to the Black Oak restaurant two to three times a month for lunch for over a year now. One of our favorite dishes is its bread pudding with hot cinnamon sauce. Would they part with their recipe?

Note from Teri Watson: I checked with the owner of the Black Oak, Linda Kenyon. She says that it was her parents' recipe and, unfortunately, she is not able to share it.

Does anyone have a recipe similar to the Black Oak's that they'd be willing to share?

Pumpkin gingerbread

A pumpkin gingerbread recipe was in the food section of The Bee in the mid- to late 1980s. It had honey, wheat germ and a yogurt glaze. Does anyone have this recipe?
