Monkey Bread is my go to recipe whenever the kids have a sleep over. It’s fast, it’s easy, and of course everyone loves it. So what happens when I’m tired and I miss measure one of the ingredients?
Make it we did, and a part of me wishes we never had, because I’m pretty sure my waistline has expanded a few inches since I’ve been introduced to monkey bread. It’s so sinful that I don’t make it unless we have brunch guests, which means that we got to make it this morning because my friend Wa and her son spent the night. My boys were super excited; they love helping me make it, and of course they adore eating it. There are many recipes for monkey bread, but the one Ann introduced me to is Pastor Ryan’s Monkey Bread from The Pioneer Woman Cooks.
