I usually spend every Saturday morning hanging out with the boys. Sometimes we head to the farmers market to pick up part of the groceries. Or we watch movies and eat popcorn for breakfast. As the weather is getting colder and the boys are more able to help out in the kitchen I’ve started to get them to cook with me more. Last weekend we made mini-monkey breads. It’s a quick dish for a family breakfast or to serve to guests. You can use refrigerator biscuits or a recipe. I used Paula Deens’ recipe because I didn’t have any pre-made biscuit dough on hand.
