My little girl turned eight this Sunday, and her favorite food ever is Monkey Bread!  Well, I thought I had a pretty good recipe for Monkey Bread, but when I tried out my friend Paige’s Monkey Bread I realized she had me beat (and my family agreed!)  

If you’re planning to pick up loads of cheap biscuits at Publix this week, this would be a great recipe to try out over the weekend
