Pumpkin Pie

Thanksgiving! I just love this holiday because it's all about amazing and tasty food! Getting the family together and eating good food, there is nothing better than that. No holiday meal is complete without dessert and there is nothing like the classic thanksgiving dessert. Not everyone in my family cares for pumpkin pie but I love it! It brings back memories of eating it with my grandmother as a little girl. Normally the pumpkin pie uses a little less ground cloves, but I really love it so in my recipe I put a little extra. Hope you guys love this recipe as much as my family and I. Let the holidays begin! Enjoy! Until the next one!

Note:  I love ground cloves! If you feel it's too much clove for your taste, you can add 1/4 teaspoon vs the 1/2 teaspoon I used.

3/4 cup of granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

Monkey Bread

It's no secret that I just love to make sweets! Making them takes away my stress, it's therapy. There are a lot of ways you can make monkey bread. The original recipe I found didn't add the icing on top, but the reality is that I wouldn't eat it without it. It tastes amazing! I made this recipe for my hubby and brother. Even though my husband, brother and I gorged ourselves, there were plenty of leftovers! It tasted amazing the next day cold from the fridge with a cup of coffee.  I will be making this as a dessert for Thanksgiving dinner this year. I really hope you guys enjoy making this and eating it as much as we did! Until the next one!!

Ingredients:

3 (16 oz packages) of refrigerated biscuits

2 sticks of unsalted butter
