Strawberry Monkey Bread Recipe

Hopefully you didn't miss Monday's post about my recent experience picking strawberries.  Here's the link if you missed it. 

One of the benefits of our strawberry harvest, was trying out delicious recipes. In today's post I will share the recipe and photographs for Strawberry Monkey Bread.  It was easy and fun to make with the kids.  It's also a winning recipe from the first Florida Strawberry Recipe contest.



Yummy goodness!
 
Ingredients:

1/2              cup toasted sliced almonds or pecans
1                 (16 ounce) container fresh strawberries, cut into slices (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 1/2           cups sugar, divided
1                 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3                (12 ounce) cans refrigerated buttermilk biscuits, cut into fourths
1/2             cup butter (1 stick)

Preheat oven to 350.  Spray a 15-cup fluted pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Sprinkle toasted nuts evenly into bottom of prepared pan.  Top with 1 cup sliced strawberries.



Layers of nuts and strawberries 
In a small bowl combine 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon.  Dredge biscuit quarters in sugar mixture.  Layer half of biscuit quarters over strawberries in prepared pan.  Top evenly with 1 cup sliced strawberries.  Layer remaining biscuit quarters over strawberries.  Set aside.



Tip: use a plastic storage bag to shake the sugar/cinnamon mixture evenly on the biscuit quarters.
In a small saucepan, combine remaining 1/2 cup strawberries, remaining 1 cup sugar, and butter.  Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.


sugar, butter and strawberries
 Pour over biscuit quarters in pan.



Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, covering pan with aluminum foil to prevent excess browning if necessary.  Let cool in pan for 10 minutes.  Invert pan onto a serving dish.  Serve immediately.

My Top 5 Tips To Stay Fit Without a Gym!

It's Fun Friday and I'm sharing some great workout tips.  Fortunately I've never struggled with working out (it's the good eating that always throws me for a loop).  I've always enjoyed going to the gym. So you can imagine when I moved to my rural community I was stressed with the fact that there wasn't a gym nearby.  Needless to say, I had to get creative on staying fit.  My business travel schedule, community and church obligations didn't make finding time to work out any easier.  I realized that my creative juices would have to flow on a alternative way to stay fit.  Here are some of my fun, no gym needed workouts: Walk/run intervals through the neighborhood Cardiovascular exercise is the foundation of most of my work- outs.  The light posts in my neighborhood provide a great way to walk & run in equal distance from the back to the front of the subdivision.  I will normally walk, jog, or sprint in intervals between each light post.

Take A Lesson From Ants

By -

I walked into my house and a portion of my floor was covered with little, black ants.  I instantly knew the kids had dropped some sticky substance on the tile floor. That mess attracted what looked like an entire nest of these little, pesky insects.  They were all moving around in unison enjoying what was probably going to be their lunch or dinner. Ironically on Sunday, a dear friend gave me a wonderful scripture about the lesson we can learn from ants.  Really, I thought, how can I possibly learn anything from something that annoys me so much.  I guess you know where I'm going with this.  There is a lesson to learn from ants about efficiency and productivity.   The ants didn't waste any time moving into action to retrieve whatever mess my boys left on the floor.  Not only that, they called all of their "ant" friends to help them in this insurmountable task. Are you a slacker?  Do you like to procrastinate?  Do you constantly have the attitude, "I'll ju

I Am Raising America's Most Hated...

BEWARE:  This is not your normal blog post It is not easy raising children.  But raising one of our country's most hated members of society brings more complication into the equation.  Let me clarify for you...raising a black male in America IS scary.  The world easily looks at color on a male as a deterrent to any intellectual ability.  Most men of color are viewed with the ability to only perform one thing - entertainment.  It could be a stand up comedian, singer, runner, actor, football or basketball player. Black males, unfortunately, only see the world through limited lenses.  Other races, ethnicities and gender can view the world with a vast amount of opportunities, but not if you are a black male.  You walk into a room or a packed elevator and people grab their handbags.  You walk next to their car and they lock their doors.  It's the overwhelming amount of negative images that have plagued and are fed into mainstream homes via our tv, social media and newspapers.
