It's Recipe Time!

I know I haven't written in a long time, but now that January is almost here, hopefully I can get caught up :)

Here are some of my favorite recipes, if you are in the cooking mood.

Monkey Bread
We have this instead of Cinnimon rolls for Christmas morning.   They are delicious and EASY.  Although Cinnamon rolls are nice once in a while.  However, one year we made cinnamon rolls and as Santa was handing out the gifts, the cinnamon rolls began to burn in the oven causing the smoke alarm to go off  in the middle of the night!  Surprisingly no one woke up.

We have also done different versions of this due to needs at the time.  This year, we couldn't get our hands on butterscotch pudding, so we used vanilla.  We've also substituted instant and it turned out fine.  This can be made with or without nuts and I think raisins would be divine!  Use your imagination!

MONKEY BREAD - BEST EVER


24 Frozen Rhodes Rolls (dinner rolls)

1 cup brown sugar

1 box butterscotch cook & serve dry pudding mix not instant

1/4 cup sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

1 stick butter, (not margarine)

pecans or walnuts, chopped, optional

Right before going to bed, or 10 pm, sprinkle pecans or walnuts into a greased Bunt pan, (I use Pam cooking spray), then put 24 frozen Rhodes Rolls into pan. Mix brown sugar and dry pudding mix together and sprinkle over frozen rolls. Mix sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on top of that.

Melt butter and slowly pour over rolls in Bunt pan, trying to cover all of the sugar. Leave on counter overnight and when you get up, the rolls should have risen nicely and you will put Bunt pan on a cookie sheet in a preheated 350̊F oven and bake for 30 minutes.

Remove from oven and pour rolls upside down onto a large platter. Serve warm.

These are extremely easy to make and very delicious. And your house will smell wonderful... These are a family favorite.

Merry Christmas!

As you can see, it was a very eventful 2011 for our family!
