This recipe for easy monkey bread muffins uses refrigerated biscuit dough cooked in muffin pans. My son, who calls these "monkey sins," loves to shake the biscuit pieces with the spiced sugar. I love that I can make a few of these at a time and eat them warm without waiting for a big enough crowd to justify a full tube pan.

Healthier Basic Crepes
I love this recipe because it is so simple to make. I have made it healthier by substituting whole wheat flour and 1% milk. I like to fill them with non-fat plain Greek yogurt and blueberries warmed in maple syrup. Yum!
French Peppermint Cookies with Chocolate Ganache
Crisp on the outside, softer in the middle, and coated with creamy chocolate ganache. These French-influenced cookies have a meringue-and-confectioners'-sugar base with peppermint flavoring and peppermint candy. You may add any flavoring, including cinnamon, creme de menthe, raspberry, orange, etc. in lieu of peppermint. Garnish with peppermint or as desired.
Patsy's Half-Baked Blueberry Pie
This half-baked blueberry pie recipe is the best blueberry pie ever, created by my friend, Patsy. Most blueberry pies lose the depth of taste of the original fruit and dissolve into sweetness. This one explodes with fresh blueberry flavor. Top with fresh-cut strawberries and whipped cream.
