    This was such a treat for this Valentine's Day weekend.

    I just found this recipe in our Alabama Living Electric Co-op Newsletter. It was called Christmas Morning Monkey Bread. I tried it like the recipe calls for the first time and everyone loved it. When I made it for Christmas breakfast I cut the creamcheese into smaller cubes and used 4 cans of biscuits and cut each biscuit into fourths. Everyone still loved it. I like the smaller cubes of cream cheese better. I wil try it with a savory garlic and cheese for a dinner bread like suggested.
