Monkey Bread

One of my favorite childhood memories is making and eating Monkey Bread with my mom!! 

Now I have actually heard this called different things but Monkey Bread is by far the funnest:)

It is so simple, so yummy, and a great treat to make with your kids!!

Ingredients:

3 tubes refrigerator biscuits (I use the cheap ones- they work great)

1/2 cup sugar

2 tsp. cinnamon

1 cube butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

You will also need a Bundt pan to bake this in:)

1. cut  the biscuits into fourths

Mix cinnamon and sugar in a bowl. Dump in biscuits and let your adorable helper do the coating!

 Little fingers are prefect for this job

Place in bundt pan

 Also a great job for your little helper:)

Dump extra cinnamon and sugar on top- we need a ll the sugar right!! 

Next get your butter and brown sugar in a bowl ( I re-use my cinnamon and sugar bowl)

 Melt the butter- okay you could probably melt the butter before adding the brown sugar...

Mix them together to look like this:

 Pour evenly over the cinnamon-sugar coated biscuits

 Hmm doesn't that look good?? 

Add your walnuts if you want them

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes

 Let cool for 5 min. then invert on pan or plate

 Try your best to not burn yourself as you try the first bite

Then decide why not and go for it:)

hmmmm hmmm good:)

Easy, fast and good- the best combination!!

Enjoy!!

DE's- liscious Cinnamon Rolls

Sorry for all the recipes in a row!! I promise that once my computer is up I will get more crafties stuff up too! Hope you all have a wonderful holiday season!!

Our Christmas breakfast tradition has always been these yummy cinnamon rolls!! I bake them the day before and re-heat them on Christmas morning. After, we see what Santa has brought we eat these puppies as we start to unwrap presents!! I seriously could eat a whole batch of these... I try resisting... but they just call my name and they are just sitting RIGHT there... you know how it goes :)

These are good all year round so give a shot :)

DE's-licious Cinnamon Rolls

WARNING: These are so easy to make they call your name whenever a cold snap rolls through or you see the first snowflake- author holds no responsiblity for any baking rushes that occur due to the deliciousness and addicitive nature of rolls.

2 pkgs. dry active yeast (about 6 teaspoons)

2 1/2 cups warm water

1 pkg. white cake mix (or be creative)

4 1/2 cups flour

Dissolve yeast in water and let stand for 10 minutes. Beat in cake mix and three cups flour. Add remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time until dough forms. Knead for 6-8 mins.

Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon. Roll up jelly roll style. Using sharp knife cut in two inch circles. Place in a greased 9X13 pan (or greased cookie sheet in a pinch). Let rise until doubled (about 30 min.) Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Glaze as you wish and resite taking a bite of the hot yumminess. The place burned fingers under cold water becuase you couldn't :)

Glaze:

Now there are many differnent cinnamon roll glazes and I use whatever one I have on hand:)

Powdered Sugar Glaze

Powdered Sugar

Milk or Orange Juice

Vanilla extract (opt)

Just mix together until you get the consitancy you like. A little liquid goes a long way with powdered sugar!

Frosting Glaze

1 can frosting, Cream Cheese (yummy), vanilla, again get creative!

Powdered sugar

milk

Again mix until you get the consistancy you like!

What is your favorite glaze??
