Yummy Christmas Treats

This year we had one new and one traditional yummy yummy treat!!

The first...monkey bread for breakfast on Christmas morning.  I have been eating monkey bread for breakfast on Christmas morning for as long as I can remember.  A tradition that my mom started...and I plan on keeping and passing down to my own children.  It is soooooooo good, and soooooo  unhealthy.  The just of it is pillsbury biscuits coated with cinnamon and sugar.  Then you mix brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, etc. to form a carmel sauce.  Pour over biscuits and bake.  I can not even tell you how good this smells much less how good it tastes.  One of my favorite Christmas traditions.

The second...I made a cake for Christmas day dessert.  For some reason I feel that the cookies, breads and candy are just not enough.  Plus our Isaac thinks that at every function we need to have cake...his favorite food.  This cake was a little tricky to make, severall little steps, cooling and mixing things in the right order.  It was a pumpkin gingerbread cake with carmel topping and toffee crunch pieces sprinkled on top of that.  YUMMY!!!  Pumpkin in anything is my all time favorite so when I saw pumpkin gingerbread I was like, "yep, making that."
