My personal favorite: Valentine Monkey Bread 💕 Cut flaky biscuits into quarters. Toss all quarters in sugar. Put 4 quarters in a sprayed muffin tin and cook until slightly turning brown (10-15 min). As soon as you take out of oven pour warmed icing (strawberry or your favorite) over monkey bread and top with sprinkles!

Toss in cinnamon and sugar and you can feed a huge crowd! 50 long churros (these are cut in half) for $28! When you bake them yourself they are so much better! My 2nd graders class went wild over them today! 🎉

My latest obsession is all things French toast. Buy your favorite loaf cake (think banana nut, carrot cake..) dip in French toast mixture (eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla) and put on a griddle. You may have to finish it off in the oven depending on how thick you cut the slices, I like them thick. For cream cheese syrup mix- pure maple syrup and warmed cream cheese.

Because it’s Friday, and I’m not cooking, and so you won’t have to scroll through my whole @kristinandrus feed of my kids to find the recipe! 1 C butter- barely softened 1/2 C white sugar 1 C brown sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla 3 C flour 3/4 tsp salt 3/4 tsp baking soda 10 oz really good chocolate chips *I suggest doubling the recipe and adding one bag of milk chocolate, one bag of semi sweet and some butterscotch chips if you’re feeling crazy! Cream butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla together really well. Add flour, salt, baking soda to creamed mixture and blend together only until combined (don’t overbeat). Hand stir chocolate chips into dough. Put balls of dough onto baking sheet and bake at 375 for about 7 to 9 minutes. They are done when starting to get golden brown on the outside but still pretty gooey on the inside. (My secret to the gooey inside, is to refrigerate the balls of dough before they go in the oven).

Still dreaming about these kicked up grilled cheese sandwiches I served as appetizers last night. I wish there were leftovers because we will be doing takeout until Monday! Use your favorite thick sliced bread (I used a wheat seedy one that worked great). Butter both slices of bread and sprinkle seasoned salt on buttered side of one slice. Layer with: Fig jam Grated sharp cheddar cheese Carmelized Onions Very thinly sliced Granny Smith apple Cook on hot griddle and serve.
