I've been searching for a wreath since we moved into our new home, but couldn't find one I particularly liked; especially for the prices. I've waited months to see what the Christmas season would present, but when Jaden and I went through our Christmas decorations I found all the items I purchased last year for 90% off. We decided they could make a beautiful wreath. Last year, my purchase included shatterproof balls, pinecone and flower inserts, ribbon, bows, and a mishmash of other things. All things I wasn't exactly sure what to do with. However, they looked like they would be great for future projects. The only thing I could not find after the holidays was the unadorned wreath. I purchased a a 36" wreath and wire from Walmart the other day, and Jaden and I went to work on our Christmas wreath. This is our finished product. Jaden placed the flowers and balls where she wanted them, and I used wire, instead of hot glue, to keep our inserts in place.

Over the weekend I made monkey bread cake, also known as pull apart cake. Various recipes have been around for years, and I remember my mom making it when I was in grade school. However, this has a slight spin to the recipe, but I hope you love it. Caramel apple monkey bread cake ingredients 4 Cans Pilsbury biscuits (blue) quartered 1 Cup white sugar 1 Tbs cinnamon 1 Can apple pie filling 1 Stick butter 1 Cup brown sugar Pecans (optional) Preheat oven to 350*. Pour the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl, container, or paper bag. Place the quartered biscuits in the container and thoroughly cover all the biscuits. Place the pecans in the bundt pan, as well as the first layer of biscuits. Layer half the can of apple pie filling in the pan. Continue this process until the apples and biscuits are in the pan. . Once all the biscuits are in the pan, melt the butter and brown sugar in a container. Pour the mixture over the apples and biscuits. This will caramelize. I recommend placing the bundt pan over another pan so the caramel doesn't drip in the oven. Bake this delectable concoction on 350* for 50 to 60 minutes. Once the cake is out of the oven let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes. Place it on a cake stand. By the way, I'm a believer in moderation. This might be a health and wellness site, but I still love great tasting food. Instead of eating the whole caramel apple monkey bread cake, have a slice and share the rest with friends and family.
