Gorilla Pull Apart Bread

Ingredients
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar 
• 3 teaspoons cinnamon 
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter 
• 1 cup packed brown sugar 
• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese 
• 2 (12-ounce) cans refrigerated biscuits (10 count) - Sometimes I use 3. Depends on the same of your bundt cake pan.  
• 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts 

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Spray a bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon. In a saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over low heat, stirring well; set aside. Cut the cream cheese into 20 equal cubes. Press the biscuits out with your fingers and sprinkle each with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon sugar. Place a cube of cream cheese in the center of each biscuit, wrapping and sealing the dough around the cream cheese. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the nuts into the bottom of the bundt pan. Place half of the prepared biscuits in the pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, pour half of the melted butter mixture over the biscuits, and sprinkle on 1/2 cup of nuts. Layer the remaining biscuits on top, sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar, pour the remaining butter mixture over the biscuits, and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of nuts. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes. Place a plate on top and invert.

Easy Margarita-style Pizza Sauce

After searching for a recipe for a good Margarita pizza, I found recipes calling for using sliced tomatoes instead of sauce to using a list of 20 ingredients for the sauce, so I came up with my own easy sauce. It turned out really well with our Sourdough Pizza Crust.

1 can petite diced tomatoes
1/4 onion, mined
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp. oregano
2 tsp. grated Parmesan

Just mix ingredients and use as pizza sauce.
