I very rarely make Monkey Bread around here because it is VERY dangerous. Case in point: I just had to try this pumpkin caramel monkey bread yesterday and I legit gained an entire pan in one day, even though I skipped lunch. Traditional lunch, I should say. I definitely ate my weight in monkey bread… Continue reading Pumpkin Caramel Monkey Bread
Once upon a time, long, long ago, in 2011, a girl who had just started her baking blog made homemade raspberry pop-tarts, posted them, and had her first ever post really go “viral.” Not real viral.

She passed away before I got to meet her, but I hear she was an amazing baker and I would… Continue reading Cinnamon Peach Kuchen
