5 little monkeys jumping on the bed

I figured since I live with a bunch of monkey's I would bake some Yummy monkey bread....yep any excuse for sugar and butter

So, if you love yummy gooey goodness as much as I do run to the kitchen and make your own. It's easy  enough to make even the tadpoles can help.

Ingredients

• 4 cans Buttermilk Biscuits (the Non-flaky Ones 7.5 oz)
• 1 cup Sugar
• 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 1/2 Butter Melted
• 1/2 cup Brown Sugar

Instructions 

Grease bundt pan

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

Mix sugar (white) and cinnamon in ziplock bag 

Open up all four cans of biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters 

Drop quarters into sugar mixture bag and shake to coat ( I did just a few at time )

After coated spread the quarters out evenly in the bundt pan

Now melt the butter and mix with the brown sugar 

Pour this mixture over quarter pieces

BAKE at 350 for 40-45 minutes 

Let cool for 5-10 minutes and flip over onto plate

ENJOY!

 

Back Away From The Glue Gun

This what happens when I get the glue gun out and I have an extra few minutes in my day. I make Little Miss bows with whatever ribbon and scrap trinkets I find around the house. The cupcake on the pink bow is ring off a cupcake I ate at work.

I like it a lot!

Our move went well!  We have all adjusted to the new area fairly well. The weather is amazing  it's least 10 degrees warmer than where we lived before! The neighborhood is quiet,clean and the people are friendly. Most of the residents have lived her for 10+ years.

The actual apartment its self is much bigger than our last one and it feels homey and cheerful.

We even have a little lizard that likes to hang out on our patio, the tadpoles named him ED.

What I love the most about our move is we now have a dining room table and can have family meals.

 We just finished our first meal. Mini meatloaves ( I have the best meatloaf in town) and salad and for dessert bite size mint brownies!


Here is the recipe I use for regular brownies. To make the mint brownies I just add Andes Chocolate Mints to the bottom of the pan. For the bite size I use a Wilton silicone mold

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powde

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350
2.  Grease and flour an 8 inch square pan
3. In a large saucepan, melt 1/2 cup butter. Remove from heat, and stir in sugar, eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat in 1/3 cup cocoa, 1/2 cup flour, salt, and baking powder. Spread batter in pan.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes  

If using the bite size mold it only takes about minutes.
