Here is a fast and delicious dish that my Grandmother passed along to me this past summer. The whole family will love. This is a great dish to share during the holidays or if you are just have a quite evening in!

Ingredients:

1 (15 1/2 oz) can of whole corn drained
1 (14 1/2 oz) cream style corn
1 (8 oz) package jiffy corn muffin mix
1 cup of sour cream
1 stick of melter butter

Dump both cans of corn, jiffy mix, sour cream and melted butter into a bowl. Mix all contents together until all ingredients are blended.

Pour into a greased casserole dish.

Bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes, until a very golden brown.

Voila! Give a few minutes to cool, but is perfect if served warm. (Maybe a little butter)

Monkey Cake

12 Jan

There is nothing better then homemade treats made by your Grandmother. My Grandmother is 90 years old and is one of most amazing women I know (the other one is my mother)! Right now she is enjoying in the sun in Florida at her beautiful condo on the Gulf. My husband and I were down there in December for a long weekend visit during the holidays.

When we arrived there was a beautiful freshly baked Monkey cake sitting there just waiting for us! In 3 days we were able to devour the whole thing! If you are looking for a great desert to share at a party or family gathering this is your dish!

Monkey Ball Cake

Ingredients:

1/2 cup chopped Pecans
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 10-oz refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine ( 1 stick)

Sprinkle chopped pecans evenly in the bottom of a well-greased 10 inch Bundt pan. Set aside. Combine sugar and cinnamon. Cut biscuits into quarters; roll each piece into the sugar mixture and layer in pan. Combine brown sugar and butter; pour over dough.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes.
Cool bread 10 minutes in pan, than invert onto serving platter.
Dig in and enjoy!
