This story began in March of 1994. Sis had her eye on a
nice and sweet and kind young man she met at N C State University.
When she told the peeps about him...mom could tell sis thought he was pretty special. Finally he asked my sis for their first date....but wait... the date for the date was April 1, April Fool's Day. When she told mom the date mom
ACTUALLY suggested that it might be a prank. Let me just say Sis shot mom
some serious dagger eyes!!
Fast forward to Christmas morning 1994. A 22 year tradition began in the family.
It was the first Christmas morning my Sis brought her (then boyfriend, later to be my BIL) to spend Christmas day with us!!
Mom tried her bestest to think of something quick and good for breakfast.
She decided to make monkey bread...it was a huge hit. Mom didn't know that
boyfriend/later BIL loved anything with cinnamon in it...and HE HAD never had
monkey bread. Mom has been making Monkey Bread every Christmas morning since then!! Later down the road he kiddingly told mom the
Monkey Bread sealed the deal with sis.
They were married on August 15, 1998.
Sis and BIL are owned by Frisco and Mia
Photo taken Christmas morning 2015. Recipe is at the bottom
Since this story was about the first Christmas BIL spent with the family mom and
I decided
to repost this. It was our very first Christmas post in 2009
Technically this is her 2nd Christmas; however, since she was only
4 months old on her first Christmas we called 1972 herFirst Real
Christmas.This picture is engraved in my mind forever. As you can
see by this picture,she was very surprised. Truly Christmas through the
eyes of a child.
The next picture is what she was looking at that had her so excited
Note we had the Christmas Tree in her playpen to keep the inquisitive
hands of a 16 month old safe.
Thanks Madi for sharing the blog with your sister. After all, she is
the reason we adopted our first cat....hence the reason you are here.
Mom
Here is the recipe:
Ingredients:
4 cans (10 to a can) biscuits. I used grocery store brand butter me not (flakes of butter in biscuits)
1 tablespoon of cinnamon*
2 teaspoons of ground cloves*
1 teaspoon of nutmeg*
3/4 cup brown sugar*
(optional: raisins and pecans to taste but I've never added them)
Preheat oven to 325, bake for 45 minutes
Supplies needed:
You will need either a bundt pan (fluted sides) or a pound cake pan.
Large zip lock bag
Sauce ingredients
1 to 1 1/4 stick butter (1 is plenty)
1 cup brown sugar
Directions:
spray pan with PAM
Mix all of the spices* then pour into a large zip lock bag.
Quarter biscuits, add to zip lock bag one can at a time, shake well, take them out and spread around pan evenly. Repeat until all 4 cans are in the pan.
After all the biscuits are in the pan, prepare sauce as follows:
In a small sauce pan, cut up the stick of butter add brown sugar. Simmer on low until melted. pour over biscuits Bake at 325 for 45 minutes
HINTS:
Over the years I have learned I can prepare the biscuit and spice mix the night before.
Cover tightly with foil store in fridge. The next day all you have to do is prepare the sauce.
GREAT FOR BREAKFAST.
Years ago we were told the name came from the fact that it is served by just pulling off pieces like a Monkey would do. But it is too hot and too messy we serve with a large
She only made about 4 or 5 and OMCs...mom was very lucky to
purchase one. It arrived at our house last Monday.
Here is a close up view...
We named our friend Peppermint because the designs on his scarf reminded
mom of the round peppermint candy by Bach's
We absolutely loved all of the paintings and it was hard to make a selection
The smile on this snowman and his hands raised in 100% glee won mom's heart.
The snow texture on his body is amazing....
When we saw the photo of the paintings on their blog we thought they were adorable; however,
in person ours is 100x's more adorable.
I think I caught a lovely whiff of a Whippet name Cricket and a Chi man named Elliot
Currently Peppermint is living here but knowing mom as I do... he will move around a bit.
It is painted on canvas, edges have music paper painted on them and it is framed beautiful
MS. LYNNE WE LOVE IT AND ARE ABSOLUTELY THRILLED THAT PEPPERMINT HAS COME TO LIVE WITH US.YOUR TALENT IS AMAZING
