Have y’all seen how the weather changed outta nowhere??? I don’t know if it’s just me but I think this year it got pretty chilly faster than like the last couple of years. Or maybe because of Covid I felt like summer was too short. Whatever the case may be fall is here. I usually love the fall. It’s my favorite season but this year I’m like oh god it’s gonna be really really really cold soon. But I love chilly weather, being inside, and EATING. Oh eating. I love eating specially in a warm hoodie while watching a movie, it’s perfect. One of my all time favorite desserts to make/eat during the fall is monkey-bread!!! It’s 5 ingredients, super easy and cheap to make and people usually have these items at home! I first made monkey bread at sollers and since then the recipe was engraved in my brain and whenever I get the chance I make it.

• 1/2 cup lite brown sugar
• 1 tsp. Ground cinnamon

2.) Peel wrapping from the biscuit can, grab spoon, press down, close eyes, and can should pop up open.
3.) take out biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into 6s. Roll them into balls.
