Mini Garlic Monkey Bread

Welcome to April’s What’s Baking!

We were challenged to bake with garlic this month and I immediately knew that I wanted to try out a recipe my friend Emily made for dinner awhile ago, Mini Garlic Monkey Bread. I opted to use the recipe from Damn Delicious because it looked so easy and I knew it was something I could put together to serve with a weeknight dinner.  My entire family goes nuts for garlic bread in any form and I knew this recipe would be a hit in my household.  Kellen and I loved peeling the morsels of warm buttery bread from the muffins and popping them into our mouths. It seems, with toddlers, that anything that can be made little or mini is well received by little appetites. I served these along side a roast, cheesy potatoes and a crisp salad, but they would be fantastic with lasagna or spaghetti. Another wonderful thing is that these can be made prior to the meal and reheated quickly when you are ready to serve.

Today I finished unpacking and am working on laundry (which feels like forever and ever!). I was lucky to have some “me” time today and got to the gym and had lunch with a friend.  Tonight, Ron and I are relaxing and playing with Kellen on his new swing set before dinner and more laundry.  I also need to run to pick up my elderberry syrup (click to read more about the health and wellness benefits) from a friend- no after plane sickness for us (doesn’t it always feel like this happens?)! Have a great Monday everyone!
