Morning! Monkey Bread Heads!

Morning to each of you!
I'm sugared up of this delicious different version of "monkey bread"!!! EEEEK!
While we were on vacation in the mountains last week, one of my good friends put this recipe together for us......we had it as an appetizer to the huge delicious breakfast DD and friend cooked!! We all took our cups of steaming hot coffee out on the wrap around porch/deck of the beautiful cabin we stayed in to enjoy the beautiful mountain top scenery when she came out with this hot ooey-gooey good stuff!!! Let me tell you, the aroma was divine!!
I was afraid it was going to lure up the bears!! Uhhh....well actually we did!
But more on that in the next post!

Here's the one I put together lastnight and baked this morning:
Believe me it didn't stay looking like this for long!
I was very surprised at how scrumptious it tasted! I really do not like butterscotch pudding at all (note : it has to be the cook kind not instant).....so I was kind of skeptical on what it was going to taste like.....boy, oh boy was I pleasantly surprised. :)
It carmelized nicely with the real butter and the brown sugar...sooey! It's good!
I think the next time I make it I will be adding a few dashes of cinnamon in with it too.....
I also found some Pumpkin Pie Pudding....wonder what that would be like?

Here it is:

Just thought I'd throw in a couple of pics with some of my Fall centerpieces in the background....
My big ol' punkin bowl just came yesterday......

I sprayed the bundt pan with butter flavored spray, placed the frozen rolls (balls) around in the pan, sprinkled the DRY Pudding over the rolls, melted the REAL BUTTER (8 TBS) (1 stick) and poured it all over the top of the rolls and dry pudding.....then I added about a 1/2 cup or so of chopped pecans. After that's done, I took a piece of plastic wrap and covered the top and set a large plate upside down over it..... plastic wrap and all....

I did it about 10:00 p.m. lastnight and left it on the counter all night to rise.....This morning I removed the plate and plastic wrap, then baked it about 6:30 am for about 28-30 minutes at 350 degrees. I didn't leave it in the pan long after I removed it from the oven.....I flipped it onto the plate I'd used to cover it with before....

There ya go!

I looked on the net for the recipe to list for you all, but actually ran across something even better! It has pictures!! LOL!! Good for those of us (like me) that do better with visual instructions...... *NOTE* Her recipe is slightly different on how it's put together than what I and my friend did......

I sure hope that this blogger doesn't mind me sharing this with y'all since I'm giving the credit to her blog anyhow! She has done a super job with the visuals!!

I think the only thing I did differently was I used 18 rolls as my friend did....I really don't know what the harm would be in using what her's calls for.....try it and see....

Let me know when you all try this and how you like it!

Also, if you get brave and try the Pumpkin Pie Pudding before I do.....let me know what you think! O.K.????

Have a good day all!

I may be back later with a post on our trip to the mountains.....

Please keep my DH in your prayers....he's really having a difficult time with the pain he's in...

We have found a new chiropractor with a very different approach than the ones we're commonly associated with....he even called DH a couple of nights ago to check on him and gave us his personal #'s if we needed anything over the weekend......thought that was very kind.

Til' then!

Hi! I'm Still Here....

Well, hello blog pals!
I know I have been gone for quite awhile.....
To be honest with you, I had even considered deleting my blog and as you've probably noticed I went as far as to delete some posts....I had read where one of my blog pals had her blog violated so to speak....by someone ??? and was using it somehow to link to some ugly things....
That's all I'm going to say about that subject other than it just absolutely makes me sick...
I had even felt that it was perhaps time for me to quit blogging...still not 100% sure.

I have had a super time getting to chat with alot of you in blogland that share like interests as mine and are women of faith and care strongly for their families and others.
It's a shame that stuff like that has to seep in and mess things up for ones that aren't doing anything harmful or hurtful.

Anyway enough about that....I have been extremely busy and my DH has been experiencing alot of pain in his hip and down his leg....he has started seeing a new dr. today and are praying that this one will be the one to provide some relief of the pain he's been trying to deal with.
We just returned last Thursday night from a few days vacation in the mountains in time to come home for a funeral.
My uncle (my dad's identical twin) had passed away earlier in the week (while we were gone) and the visitation was Friday with the funeral on Saturday.
We all got up and went to SS & church on Sunday as usual.
I was so tired out from going and going that I took a two hour nap yesterday and then went to bed at 9:30 lastnight.
I feel much better today....but we are so far behind on things....I have several shows coming up and still don't have enough furniture to fill the shop for the Open House we normally have.
I know DH is doing the very best he can.....I believe it will all come together......some how.....
I'd appreciate your prayers very DH very much....this has been troubling him for several weeks now and I hate to see him go through this.

Hope you all are doing well!
I'll have some beautiful pictures of the mountains to share with you soon and a few goodies I bought at a local thrift shop and a couple of prim shops I found while on vacation!!!
DH also finished the candle hutch before we left for vacation.
I'll try to get a picture of it too....
Take care all!
