Share your Conference FOOD Traditions!

I haven't posted here in a while and was thinking this morning about the upcoming LDS General Conference.  Our family is not fancy enough to have a method by which we can watch on Conference on TV...a happy memory from my childhood in Utah. Instead we watch on our computer screen while we sit around the kitchen table.  This is actually not a bad set up since sitting at the table keeps us from napping and the kids have a surface on which to color activity packets or LDS coloring pages.

A year ago I got an iPhone and joined the world of Instagram and I noticed the funniest thing: a gazzillion FOOD pictures filling Instagram on the morning of the Sunday morning General Conference session.  It seems that we Mormons looooove marrying food with this semi-annual conference.

Our family has had a tradition for years of making Money Buns. Those sticky, caramel-y, Rhodes Rolls, creations.  My recipe can be found HERE.  I have very recently been re-thinking this as it has occurred to me that filling my kids with straight sugar and then asking them to sit still for hours may be counter-productive.  Maybe I need to switch to a more savory option, although I think my kids would revolt.

So this week, just for fun...

I want to here about YOUR family's 
LDS General Conference FOOD traditions.  

Is it grandma's special cinnamon rolls?  Breakfast casserole? Monkey bread?  Do you celebrate with a special breakfast or are lunch or dinner your tradition.  Feel free to leave links in the comments to any amazing recipes you want to share!  I may share some here before conference weekend so others can start a food tradition of their own.
