NEMO Addition!

What better thing to do then bake when you are snowed in! I"ve been wanting to make this recipe for Monkey Bread in the Crock pot for awhile now so this was the perfect occasion!

I found the recipe on this great site for Crock Pot recipes - http://www.crockingirls.com/recipes/monkey-bread/

Ingredients:

  • 1 tube refrigerated biscuits, jumbo size (8 biscuits)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 stick butter or margarine, melted
  • 1 large plastic baggie
  • non-stick cooking spray

  1. Cut each biscuit into fourths and set aside. In a large plastic baggie, combine sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Close bag securely and mix ingredients together. Dip each cut biscuit into melted butter and place in the baggie. Close baggie and shake until all biscuits are covered with sugar. Spray slow cooker and place biscuits on the bottom. It's okay if biscuits touch.

    Cover and cook on HIGH for 2-3 hours, then switch to warm. You will want to keep these warm or serve immediately. As they cool, they will harden.

These even tasted good heated in the microwave the next day! If you want to make the icing here are the directions:
Melt1 stick of butter  butter in saucepan. Add in 1-2 cups powdered sugar slowly, stirring continuously until smooth and thick
enough to drizzle for icing. Add 1-2 teaspoons vanilla and stir to mix through. Drizzle over monkey bread
.

Stay tuned for more recipes!

SUPER bowl SUNDAY

What an exciting Super Bowl! Being a University of Delaware Alum I was definitely rooting for the Ravens. I'm glad that they won! Ellie had a good time too!


I decided to make some of our favorite recipes from the past few years for Super Bowl. 

Here is a rundown of the menu:

Taco Dip - I made this Week 4 for Ben's Birthday. If you scroll down to the middle of the page you will find the recipe. This is SOO easy and SOO good!  http://sundayfundayfood.blogspot.com/2012/09/week-4-bens-birthday-full-day-of-food.html


Pigs In a Blanket - I made these in 2009 and they are again very easy and great when entertaining! http://sundayfundayfood.blogspot.com/2011/10/week-5-day-of-appetizers.html

No Super Bowl is complete without WINGS! I've made many different wings over the past few years, but these Honey BBQ Wings are definitely our favorite - http://sundayfundayfood.blogspot.com/search?q=wings

Ben's favorite dish from this year was Taco Pizza and it was a BIG hit at Super Bowl - http://sundayfundayfood.blogspot.com/2012/11/week-12-giants-vs-packers-taco-pizza.html
 
We had some non-meat eaters at Super Bowl, so I wanted to make something they could eat as well. The lasagna rolls were the perfect fit!  http://sundayfundayfood.blogspot.com/2012/10/week-6-lasanga-roll-ups.html


We had a great time with friends and food this Super Bowl! I really enjoyed sharing my recipes over the last few months. I may not wait until next Football Season to post more recipes, so keep an eye out for more from the Faircloughs! Ellie likes watching me cook too!
