we worked hard making
butter
and
savory monkey bread
and
gingerbread cookies
it took a team
lots of
shaking ,stirring, rolling. cutting, chopping, spilling, melting, cooking, waiting, cleaning up
loads of fun
little bits of magic
and
a few mishaps
thrown in for good measure
to make
a perfect day of cooking
tomorrow
we set our fancy table
and
sit down together
to share our feast.

you cut or tear up dough into little pieces, dredge it in melted butter, throw it in a bundt pan, add herbs and spices and desired and bake it. then you have a tear apart bread for dipping and eating. sweet version is same except with cinnamon and sugar

I hadn’t heard of the savory monkey bread. Always made mine by rolling each piece in cinnamon sugar before plopping it in the pan. Sooo good!!!

Baking with my mom is a childhood memory I’ll never forget. That’s probably one of the reasons I liked cooking with my students in class. Math skills, measuring, working together—too many other benefits to mention here.
