Checking in with my dollies!!!
I really hope food has been treating you well. I watched a documentary called, FOOD MATTERS. It covered the nutritional value of food. And also how food should be regarded as our source for nutrition and healing instead of medicine. It suggested that we should eat raw foods, at least 60% per meal. What I found to be incredibly worthwhile was the statistics of the last 20 years or so on medication related deaths compared to the less than a dozen deaths due to vitamins that were BTW unfounded. My? people this is not new info but definitely crucial information medicine is a business. Keep that in mind when planning your next meal!
MJ I love you to pieces!!!

Jumping for Monkey Bread!
NEWS AND UPDATES
Personal Stories
OOOOOOOOooohhhh my sweet dollies! I have missed you so very much. I have not posted in over a month. Please, please pray for my kids my son and his wife lost their little baby last month, my grand daughter, and we were devastated. Yet faith and time has a way of comforting us all! Therefore, I am praying for peace.
The Business
It has been really busy for Mama Joy. I really do miss putting recipes on the blog and seeing all the folks viewing us from as far away as Sri Lanka! It feels good to know that people love reading about food :-)
First of all the cookbook is available now via paypal on the website: http://www.chefmamajoy.com/.
Right now my treats are available at the "Liberty Deli" in Northern Liberties and we are expanding this month to the "Wired Bean Cafe' " on Germantown Avenue in Mt. Airy!
The website is live and kicking! We are launching the cafe' fundraiser we believe that you don't have to borrow if you have good investors.
Troy (my hubby) and I are currently interviewing investors for the restaurant/cafe. If you or someone you know believes in food for the soul and gourmet dessert treats, done simplistically...give us a call. All contact information is available at: http://www.chefmamajoy.com/.
Okay, as you may or may not know, I am in a food ministry at my church and we basically learn about food. Every meeting we collect food for the homeless. Last meeting, we had a celebration for the young graduates in our group. Everyone brought dishes from home. A young man brought some Monkey Bread he made.

Ingredients:
4 cans refrigerated biscuits
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 sticks butter (3/4 cup)
1/2 cup white sugar
2 Tablespoons cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins (these are optional, it's great with or without them)
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 sticks butter (3/4 cup)
1/2 cup white sugar
2 Tablespoons cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins (these are optional, it's great with or without them)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9-10 inch tube pan.
2. Mix white sugar and cinnamon in a medium sized plastic bag. Cut the biscuits into halves or quarters and place six to eight biscuit pieces in the sugar cinnamon mix. Shake well.
3. Arrange pieces in the bottom of the greased pan. Continue layering until all the biscuit pieces are coated and in the pan. If you are using raisins, place them among the biscuit pieces as you are layering.
4. In a small saucepan, melt the butter with the brown sugar over medium heat. Boil for 1 minute. Pour over the layered biscuits.
5. Bake for 35 minutes. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a plate. Pull apart and enjoy!
My dollies, Mama Joy has a few minor changes to the one I make, however, this is a great recipe. Please note that is your bread does not "pop" out, feel free to smack your flute or bunt pan a little. There is plenty of butter in this recipe.
