march christmas

Happy Birthday to the mellowest, most enthusiastic, likablest, belly-dancing, Snapchat and Steepery addict of a roommate.
And receiver of my constant updates about how everyone and their mother has guest starred on CSI.



For someone with so many dietary restrictions, it really wasn't hard to figure out what to make.  Maybe my semi-lactose intolerance and short stint as a vegetarian makes me sympathetic.  (And maybe I'm also thankful she isn't a vegan.)  But I instantly knew what to bake when I saw this.  It was really just another way to feed my recent homemade bread addiction.
Carefully dipped each piece in butter and then spiced sugar while Skyping my favorite cousins... until I realized it would have been much easier to cover the pieces in a baggie.
Another tip?  Don't use a cheesecake pan as I did - sugar will drip out, burn on the bottom of the oven, and fill the entire kitchen with smoke.  But at least it made it easier to slip the bread cake onto a plate.
I blended the remainder of the sugar/spice coating with coconut cream, making a delicious glaze slash dip for all the misshapen pieces.  How possible is it to eat monkey bread in moderation?
