  1. Reminds me of weekends at our lake place.:-) Looks delicious and sounds like something our family would like.

    CC is a sweet helper.

    Nice recipes. Thank you and have a great day!

  3. fairhopesupplyco says:

    This looks absolutely scrumptious! It will be on my menu the next time I have a house full of teenage boys spending the night. They are always so hungry in the morning!

  4. Emily says:

    Look familiar when all of my family is here. I love this recipe and it would be a hit with this group, I must try this.
    Hope you are enjoying the beach this weekend…………….

  5. When I saw you were using prepackaged ingredients, I knew this was something I could probably do! I wonder if monkey bread (the frozen kind from Wal-Mart) could be used instead of the Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls? It would be one less step for me which makes it one step more likely I would make it!

  6. This is something that would be a hit at my house, definitely. I am adding the ingredients to the shopping list!

    Jenna, you are killing me with this….insert drool marks on my keyboard…pinned! Christine from Little Brags

  8. Mary says:

    Jenna, I love the combo of sweet & salty and my hubby loves anything with sausage so I know this would be a hit! We watch the paddle boarders go by here in our cove, but a dog on board would make me do a double take 🙂

  9. Kim says:

    These sound easy and delicious, Jenna. It looks like y’all had a great time – and wonderful food!

  10. Miz Helen says:

    Congratulations!
    Your recipe is featured on Full Plate Thursday this week. Hope you have a great weekend and enjoy your new Red Plate!
