I've been wasting my time on social media sites, and not working on my own side hustles as I should be. However, I did start my cookbook for my kids, which I plan to give to them when they get a bit older. In the past few weeks I made the decision to focus on five main dishes that become my specialty dishes. Chicken Cordon Bleu is one of them. I understand it's an oldie, but just because something's aged, doesn't mean it can't be great anymore. Since, I've made a roulade, and the open face version; each a little different.

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.
Pear Sauce RecipeOnce again, this is super simple. The most difficult part is peeling the pears. Once they're washed and peeled I cut the flesh away from the seeds. I do not have a apple peeler/corer so I have to do it by hand. This takes a lot of time. Infiltrate help if someone who can help you. These pears are gorgeous. Perfect in each and every way. The smallest pear is the size of a baseball, but the average is softball size. They feel a bit hard, but are delectible once bitten into. They were given to me by my friend Mr. Ken, and I found a wonderful use for them: Homemade pear sauce. I made a huge vat of pear sauce. The measurements are estimated since I don't normallly measure my ingredients.
Once the sauce was cool I spooned it into quart size freezer bags. I froze size bags, and put a huge container in the refrigerator for the family. Enjoy it over granolaI made a quick breakfast granola with oats, raisins, honey and cinnamon. While it was still hot I added half and half to it, and ladled homemade warm pear sauce over the top. It was delicious.
