When my kids have a sleepover, I always make monkey bread.
Everyone loves it because it's quick and soo easy.
So what happens if I forget to measure one of the ingredients because I'm tired?
We did make it, and part of me wishes we hadn't, because I'm pretty sure my waist has grown a few inches since I first tried monkey bread.
It's so bad that I only make it when we have people over for brunch. Since my friend Wa and her son spent the night, we got to make it this morning.
My boys were very happy. They love helping me make it, and they also love eating it.
Ann showed me Pastor Ryan's Monkey Bread from The Pioneer Woman Cooks, which is one of many ways to make monkey bread.
