    Have you ever tried Baker's Joy cooking spray? It's great for baked goods. Maybe it would work well for the monkey bread. Anyway, I love your videos. You have so many great ideas. I also love seeing your beautiful family.

    Looks like you had a great time in Hawaii! Maybe someday… 😉

    Some fast and easy inflation – busting recipes! We can never have enough of those, right?

    Love seeing your girls doing the taste testing. And we’ve all been there with a monkey bread incident! We still laugh at a cake my mom made for my brothers birthday in the 1960s!! I was 6 and remember it well. She made what he requested – her famous devil’s food cake with caramel icing. Don’t know what went wrong, but when she put the second layer on, it started to slide after about 30 seconds. She made a desperate grab for it as it went over the side onto the table and a piece of it broke off in her hand. She figured she could patch it together but it refused to stay together. Even toothpicks and skewers wouldn’t hold it! And that piece kept separating so that it looked like a handle! Everyone who came in took one look and asked why the cake had a handle! 🤣🤣 It really looked like you could just grab hold and pick the whole cake up and walk away with it!

    It became one of our favorite stories along with the green gravy…

    Save money and use regular lasagna noodles. You don't need to boil them first. Just add an extra cup to a cup and a half of water to your sauce and bake for a full hour. I haven't boiled pasta for lasagna in over 15 years, and it turns out perfectly.

    We love the monkey bread but ours had no pudding and we rolled the dough in the utter then in the cinnamon sugar and put them in the bunt pan to rise. All the leftover butter and sugar mix was combined and added on top of the rolls. Baked and sump. So good! These are for sure things we will try. Love the black bean qasidas.

    Gram used frozen bread loaves for her monkey bread but it's nice to have a frozen roll alternative. She also rolled the pieces to coat in the butterscotch mixture but we all agree that it needs the extra layers of butter/ brown sugar for extra gooeyness. And when it sticks, just put the pan in a sink of really hot water to slightly soften the caramelization.

    First, you are the whole reason I got an Instant Pot. You could have been a spokesperson for them. Lastly, I have never thought to rinse black beans the way you did. That nice. Love you guys.
