Day 8 comes to us from Krislyn from Spreading Her Wings. She has some SERIOUSLY delicious recipes posted on her blog, so check it out! Here is what Krislyn had to say about her recipe:
"Growing up every Christmas morning my mom {who is not the best baker, and or cook} would somehow pull it together in the kitchen to make us all her Monkey Bread. My brother and I would sit there until we felt sick devouring it all and swearing off Monkey Bread until the next Christmas! Anyhow as I got older and more into baking, I find that I am a huge fan of baking with brown sugar and cinnamon, two of my favorites. Before you know it I had meshed together my mom's only baking recipe {basically using her brown sugar topping from the Monkey Bread} and adding that to this delicious cinnamon bread I've created."
