Growing up every time my Grandparents visited we would have pinch me cake (monkey bread) with our breakfast. I remember siting around the kitchen table watching my Grandma take the cake out of the oven and smelling the sweet smell of cinnamon. Im grateful for these memories and look forward to continuing this family tradition with my family. Its very easy to make and fun to have your kids help with it. My kids love it!
