Blueberry Monkey Bread Bake

I opened up my email this morning and found this delicious looking recipe. I'm now on the hunt for Pillsbury Grands! Homestyle blueberry biscuits. I figured I would share this with you all, as a yummy way to start your fall mornings! Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar 
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 
• 2 cans (16.3 oz each) Pillsbury Grands! Homestyle refrigerated blueberry biscuits 
• 1/2 cup blueberries 
• 1/3 cup blueberry jam 
• 1 cup powdered sugar 
• 3 to 4 tablespoons milk 

Steps
1 Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 13x9-inch pan with shortening or cooking spray. In large resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon.

2 Separate dough into 16 biscuits; cut each into quarters. Shake in bag to coat. Arrange in pan, covering bottom of pan completely. Top with blueberries. In small microwavable bowl, microwave jam uncovered on High 15 to 30 seconds or until melted. Drizzle over biscuits.

3 Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown and no longer doughy in center. Cool 10 minutes. In medium bowl, mix powdered sugar and milk to drizzling consistency; drizzle on top.

To serve, cut into squares or scoop out with a spoon. Cover and refrigerate any monkey bread, and use within 3 days.

Special thanks to Pillsbury for sharing this recipe with me. No monetary compensation has been received for sharing this post with you.

Make Lunch More Eco-Friendly with Reusable Sandwich and Snack Bags! Review And Giveaway!

I am not a frunchy mama. I aspire to live a greener, healthier life with my children, and keep everything in balance. We recycle when we can, and use reusable bags at the grocery store, and we have cut back on the cleaning supplies with harmful chemicals in them drastically in the last two years. Those little steps find me closer to my goals of making a better living environment inside and outside of my home for my children.

While preparing for back to school, (and cruising through Etsy!), I happened to find this great little shop called Fray Baby Bibs & More. They have such a great selection of handmade, reusable lunch baggies, purses, totes, pencil cases, feeding and burping accessories for baby, scarves, toys and more! All of the prints are fresh, modern, trendy, and fashionable. Whether you're looking for baby, children or mom herself, you'll find something that will delight every taste and budget.We had the opportunity to review three reusable bags this month, the snack sized bag, the velcro closure lunch bag, and the flip top lunch bag. These reusable bags are functional for carrying food, waterproof and anti-microbial. The patterns and styles available will appease to preschoolers and high schoolers alike. To clean the bags, just flip them inside out and wipe clean or throw them in the washing machine. All of the bags are machine washable and dryer safe.

I love the the velcro and the flip and fold sandwich bags! The velcro closure was much easier for Alex to figure out how to open, but after I showed him what to do for the flip top one, he quickly became a pro. For Flip and Fold instructions, feel free to view the tutorial here.

He's super excited about his "Real-Life-SUPER-HEROES" sandwich bag.. (see the pic to the left!), and can't wait to bring it to school to show his new friends.

The snack sized bag that we received was a flip top style. It was great, but with little hands, it made opening it a little more difficult. The first time Alex tried, he got grapes everywhere. However, the snack sized bags are also available with the velcro closure, so the little kids can have their snacks too. The flip top snack bag would be ideal for older elementary school kids and middle school aged children. If I worked outside of my home, I would definitely invest in these reusable bags as well.

..Maybe I'm becoming a more frunchier mama as we speak!
