I hope that you all had a super relaxing weekend!
We spent yesterday finding eggs, eating monkey bread, and relaxing while waiting for dinner to finish cooking!
As you can see, we had some very successful egg hunters!
The Easter bunny was successful as the girls were very excited with all the of the eggs and loot the bunny left!
I prepped breakfast the night before because monkey bread was requested!
Monkey Bread
You need…
-18 frozen dinner rolls (I use Rhode’s)
-1 package butterscotch cook and serve pudding ( do NOT use instant)
-1/4 cup margarine or butter
-1/4 cup brown sugar
-1 teaspoon cinnamon
Use cooking spray to coat a bundt pan. Add in rolls and pour pudding mix over the top of them. Then melt butter, cinnamon and brown sugar together. Pour mixture over top of rolls.
Cover and let rise overnight.
In the morning, lightly cover rolls with tin foil and place in oven. Cook at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes. I always take the foil off for the last five minutes to brown the top because that’s how I like it! :)
Then flip this onto a plate so that the deliciousness will go all over the bread!
SO GOOD!!! I don’t make this often because it’s not the most healthy thing to have for breakfast, but it’s a yummy treat to have every once in a while!
After we finished breakfast, we hung out for a while and before we knew it, dinner needed to be made!
The Good Eats Guy wanted to handle the ham, so I said go for it! We bought an 8 pound spiral sliced ham. He decided that he was going to put the ham in a roaster on the grill and free up the oven for me to use! He poured some cherry coke on the ham and placed the pan on the grill. This cooked for about 90 minutes.
Then, we made a glaze out of cherry coke, brown sugar, and butter. This went over the ham for a half hour or so. It turned out like this!
And I handled the rest. I made focaccia bread, green bean casserole (my favorite!!), deviled eggs and of course mashed potatoes!
It was a super tasty meal and I didn’t even have room for dessert…I was stuffed! We will be replicating this ham again…I coudn’t believe how much flavor it had!
What is your favorite holiday food?!
I’m a huge fan of green bean casserole. I usually eat my weight in the stuff and have told my mom to add an extra can of beans in it so that I don’t eat it all! 
I hope that you had a wonderful weekend and are having a GREAT Monday! I had the day off, so I am trying to finish up all of the things that we didn’t get done this weekend!
I’ve never made monkey bread but my boyfriend’s sister loves making it
It looks delicious. Glad you had a wonderful Easter
Dang, I never considered making monkey bread with frozen rolls. That seems 100 times easier! I’m with you, I LOVE green bean casserole too.
i have not done a whole lot of ham cooking my life, but i’ve never heard of cherry coke before with it! it looks like it turned out delicious though!
Yum. That all looks fantastic. Especially those potatoes!
Girls look absolutely adorable as always!
That monkey bread sounds amazing.
The Easter Bunny brought quite the haul to your house eh? Your girls must have been SO excited!
Aw, I love the Chicago Cubs shirts they’re in!!! And monkey bread is so delicious! I haven’t had it in years! I’m a big fan of green bean casseroles too! I made it for Thanksgiving and it was a hit!
Oh my gosh! That monkey bread looks sooooo good!
I’m not a huge ham person but am definitely intrigued by a cherry Coke glaze!!! And damn you with your Monkey Bread! That stuff is delish but I would be morbidly obese if I indulged in it as much as I want to.
Love the girls matching tops
I’ve never made monkey bread before, but that recipe looks amazing!
I looooove monkey bread
What a perfect Easter breakfast. Glad you and your family had a great holiday!
Looks like such a nice Easter
I have a monkey bread mold and I’ve never used it! My husband LOVED it growing up and so his Mom got me the mold. Maybe I will finally give it a go. Your mashed potatoes look so yummy! My favorite holiday dish is homemade cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving. mmm so good 
Monkey bread is definitely on my must try list! It looks so delicious
Love cute kids and Easter eggs- nothing is cuter!
Everything looks delicious! Who doesn’t love monkey bread? Your girls, as always, are adorable! And my oh my, they are lucky! The “easter bunny” was very good to them! I am impressed!
So glad you liked the ham on the grill – love your glaze though – I’ll have to try that next time!
I will continue to ignore the fact that you are Cubs fans – in our house its the perfect day with the Cubs lose and the Sox win!
I LOVE ham on easter…that’s my favorite meal for this holiday. Others is stuffing or mashed potatoes!
I love monkey bread! But after this weekend I ate so many sweets I think I’m in a sugar coma:)
Everything looks delicious! I have made that monkey bread and it is to die for!
I always add extra green beans into my casserole =) love it! Everything in this post has me droooolling!!! omg yum! Glad you had a great easter! I had brunch and then house hunted! <3
How adorable – what a fun Easter! I love green bean casserole too! Strange, I only just learned what monkey bread was about a year ago. I guess it really is a thing – I wasn’t sure!
