The opposite of fresh vegetables...

Monkey Bread

Sadly, there was no pick up at the farm this week. I guess the harvest is a little behind due to recent weather conditions. The people at DeLano were so nice and called us to tell us not to come out. They also sent us a coupon for some free eggs and a discount on meat for later in the season. While it's disappointing (my first thought was..."what will I blog about this week?"), I totally understand that growing conditions play a big role in the harvest. There are some things you can't rush. I'm loving being a little closer to the source and understanding more about what goes into farming. Normally, I would just drive over to Meijer and take it for granted that any vegetable I might want is available in any season. Instead we're learning the patience of farmers.

Since we weren't going to get any fresh veggies from the farm this week and it got a little chilly today, I decided to make some monkey bread. Monkey bread is super easy, especially if you use Pillsbury biscuits like I do instead of making the dough from scratch. All it takes is breaking the biscuits up into pieces and rolling them in cinnamon and sugar, piling it all into a greased pan, and pouring a mixture of melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon over the top. I baked it at 350 for 35 minutes. Flipped upside down on a plate, it's perfect for a chilly-ish June day.
