Plenty of students start getting homesick after midterms and before Thanksgiving, and this longing can get pretty intense.

To help this time pass with a bit more ease, I have found a great solution: comfort food. You may not be able to go home, but at least you can eat food that reminds you of it. This week I present a fairly simple recipe for one of my favorite fall snacks.

I don’t want to be in this alone, mind you. If any of you out there would like to share a great recipe which reminds you of home, send it to: [email protected].

Monkey Bread

Ingredients:

1 3⁄4 cups sugar

Directions:

Heat oven to 350 degrees and grease a Bundt pan. Open tubes of biscuits, cutting each biscuit in half. Mix cinnamon and sugar (brown or white, depending on your tastes), then put the mixture in a large sealable plastic bag. Put six or so pieces of biscuit into the bag, shake it, and put the pieces into the Bundt pan. Repeat until all the pieces are in the pan. Melt the butter in a microwave, and stir the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture in. Pour over the biscuits and bake around 25 minutes. You’re done.
