Lucy's birthday brunch

Between the holidays, Robert's business trip, and an unsuccessful recipe not worth posting about, I haven't had anything to share lately. I realized I didn't post about Lucy's birthday though, so I'm doing that now. We had her party on Christmas Eve morning so it was a brunch menu. Two of my favorite recipes were the Basil-Lime Fruit Salad, and instead of birthday cake, dessert was Monkey Bread Minis. Robert is allergic to strawberries, so I substituted red grapes in the fruit salad. Also, the web version of the monkey bread recipe doesn't have the glaze instructions, so I've added them here. The magazine called this step "optional", but who doesn't want extra sugar on top?!

Glaze:
Stir together 1 cup of confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons milk. Drizzle over the bread as it cools.

Lindsey, I had no idea you had a food blog. I love it!! I also love to cook - just not so much on the days that I work. I'm definately going to try some of the recipes that you posted!
