This weekend my mom visited for the first time at our new house... a great excuse to cook all weekend. I didn't get the camera out for all the food, but I remembered to take a picture of the monkey bread this morning.
One of my favorite breakfast recipes is Monkey Bread. It makes a bunch so I only make it when we have guests over. Monkey Bread:
- 4 cans of small biscuits cut in 4 pieces each
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
Mix together so all pieces of biscuit are covered with the mixture. Spoon the pieces into a greased fluted pan. I love my stoneware fluted pan ($29)
- 1 stick butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
In a sauce pan over the stove combine the ingredients above and bring to a boil. Pour the mixture over the biscuits in the pan. (Add pecans to the top - you can add them whole or chopped)
Bake in the oven 40-50 minutes.
Here's the empty pan... Kolin loved doing dishes all weekend. 
Here's a list of the other meals we had:
- Thursday Dinner - 30 minute chicken in pampered chef deep covered baker, risotto, broccoli, salad and french baguette. Brownies too!
- Friday Lunch - Lemon Chicken Risotto soup (made with the leftovers)
- Friday Dinner - Homemade Pizza with garlic and herb crust. 1- Sausage and Pepperoni and 2- Sausage, Chicken and Spinach
- Saturday Breakfast - Cinnamon Banana Pancakes, Bacon and Fruit
- Saturday Dessert - Homemade M&M cookie and ice cream sandwiches
- Sunday Breakfast - Monkey Bread
- Sunday Lunch - Cookout with brats, pork chops, corn on the cob, mac 'n cheese and salad
I think everyone had a great weekend... and a few extra pounds :)
