Breads

When my boys hear Im planning to make Monkey Bread, theyre eager to help, says Carol Allen of McLeansboro, Illinois. Brady is the official shaker. He coats the biscuits after Mom has cut them into pieces. Jerod arranges the coated biscuits in the pan, then its ready to go into the oven. Both boys really enjoy helping me make Monkey Bread, and it seems to taste twice as good when theyve helped fix it, Carol assures. Its one of our favorites for breakfast or as a snack.

This recipe is an old French Canadian recipe which originated during the depression. It consists of tender pieces of chicken and homemade noodles swimming in a delicious gravy. A real rib sticker and a favourite with my family during the winter. Sounds harder than it is and it is absolutely delicious!
