CHRISTMAS DAY

It all starts with Breakfast;  
Monkey Bread, Pigs-N-Blanket and Coffee! 

The only difference with this monkey bread is that we use 3 cans of Cinnamon Rolls.  In a small plate add 3 tablespoon white sugar and 3 tablespoon brown sugar, blend together. Melt 4 tablespoons of Butter in a bowl. Cut each cinnamon roll into 4th, roll them into a ball with your hands.Place it pan add each roll.  Repeat until all is done, if any butter or sugar mixture is left add it on top. Bake 350*, 30 minutes or until brown on top. Cool for 10 minutes on a rack. Using a knife loosen the sides and the middle hole. By placing a plate on top, invert the pan and plate together. Remove cake pan and let the ring of Cinnamon Monkey Bread cool. 
Remove all the icing that came with the cinnamon rolls into a bowl and microwave for 10 seconds. Using a spoon drizzle the icing on top the ring. Serve! 

Pigs-N-Blanket are easy, some people use biscuits and some use croissants.  Wrapping those small little smokies up tight and bake following the instructions on the biscuits or croissants. Try adding a small slice of jalapeno and a small slice of cheddar cheese with the little smokie. Roll it up tight and bake! 

Coffee! Yes please! There is a recipe for Fireside Coffee in my blog. If you like Instant Hot Chocolate try adding 2 teaspoon Peppermint flavor creamer to it, or make your own creamer. Take 1 pint Half/Half and add 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract to it and 2 tablespoons of white sugar. Shake until the sugar is dissolved.  Store in refrigerator. 

Using Christmas Plates and Christmas Coffee Cups it makes this small breakfast very festive.
