Brown sugar is a sucrose sugar product with a distinctive brown color due to the presence of molasses. It is either an unrefined or partially refined soft sugar consisting of sugar crystals with some residual molasses content, or it is produced by the addition of molasses to refined white sugar.
Brown sugar contains from 3.5% molasses (light brown sugar) 
to 6.5% molasses (dark brown sugar). 
Brown sugar has a slightly lower caloric value by weight than white sugar due to the presence of water. One hundred grams of brown sugar contains 373 calories, as opposed to 396 calories in white sugar.
However, brown sugar packs more densely than white sugar due to the smaller crystal size and may have more calories when measured by volume. One tablespoon of brown sugar has 48 calories against 45 calories for white sugar.
Brown sugar is usually found in the baking supplies section or aisle of the grocery store or supermarket.
Brown sugar is a member of the Sweets USDA nutritional food group.

Spinach, Mushroom and Vegetable Bread Pudding
Excellent. We had some leftover bread that had gone stale and needed to use up the remains of a bag of spinach. This recipe fit out needs perfectly. Nice and cheesy, perfect change of pace from a sweet bread pudding. Seemed very flexible so it would be possible to add in other leftover veggies if needed.
Using a crock pot can create delicious slow-cooked meals while spending less time and money.
