Sausage Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread
"Monkey Bread, or Pull-Apart Bread, is just one of those fun foods to eat! There’s just something about getting your fingers in there and plucking off delicious bites. I realize this is a little different with sausage and cinnamon roll, but a slightly sweet/savory dish can be good at times, right? You only need three ingredients and less than thirty minutes to make this Sausage Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread." - Paula

Bacon Wrapped Brown Sugar Smokies
"The epitome of party food these kickin’ Bacon Wrapped Brown Sugar Smokies are finger food done right. Tiny smoked sausages are wrapped with maple flavored bacon then tossed in a brown sugar coating that’s spiced with a touch of ground chipotle pepper. Bake them in the oven until the bacon is crispy then serve them with sweet barbecue sauce on the side for dipping." - Melissa
Baby Sausage Dogs
"I wanted to make small corn dogs, but I knew Lincoln (my son) would not dare try them. Usually, if he helps make something, he’ll at least try it. I thought if we used Lil Smokies instead of hot dogs that I’d have a better chance. So that was my thought process behind these Baby Sausage Dogs. It was a total success." - Paula
