In the wee hours the other night I was researching donuts (don't ask) and was very excited by the idea of a donut pan I saw. It was for baking donuts. Intriguing! I found a bunch of recipes and then realized it seemed no different than just a muffin batter in a donut shaped pan. While I fully support this wanna-be-donut-muffin type baked good, I realized I could also just get my baked donut fix by making monkey bread with the girls.
So, we did. It's a favorite activity of theirs. It makes way too much and because it's only good for about a day or two it makes me very sick, but I love it.
There recipe is here and have made it many times. . . I know I have shown this before, but life is repetitive, so why shouldn't my blog be? I have made a few changes to the recipe; I add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to the dough, skip the nuts, and substitute half the white four for whole wheat.

I am so excited to have found this link! Catalog Choice goes through and cancels all the pesky catalogs that come in your mail box. I get a ton--like loads and loads, and seeing as how I am actively trying to reduce bags, paper, and all that, I was just feeling sick I was getting so many catalogs. Especially since Grammie gets the same ones, so if I ever need any, I can use hers. My new rule for myself is unless I plan to keep the catalog forever, I don't want it-not with so many websites available. So far I have canceled 15 catalogs, and I know there is more. **tip, you need the customer code in the blue box on the back of the catalog to cancel, so don't recycle it until you jot this number down.
