Cheesy Garlic Biscuits



Other pinners claim that this recipe is a Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit "copy cat" recipe.  Uhh... not so much!  Don't get me wrong... these were really very good, and so easy, but I don't think they tasted like Red Lobster.  Maybe it's because I used the lower fat Bisquick, or maybe it's because I used garlic powder instead of garlic salt but whatever the reason it won't stop me from making this recipe again.  I found the recipe here.

Here's what to do...

1 1/2cups Bisquick
1 1/2cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup milk
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp oregano (you can omit or use less)
3/4 tsp garlic salt

1. Preheat oven to 400F. Spray cooking sheet with non-stick spray.

2. Put biscuit mix, cheese and milk in a bowl and mix well to form a sticky dough.

3. Using spoon, drop lumps of dough onto cookie sheets. Bake for 10min.

4. In a bowl, melt butter and mix with oregano and garlic salt.

5. When the timer goes off, take them out and brush with butter mixture and bake 5min at 400F and another 5-6min at 350F.

Serve immediately!!


(Crock) Pot Roast... my first!



To set the scene... it's a Sunday, a lazy Sunday, and thinking ahead to dinner I know that I don't want to spend much time in the kitchen.  Enter Pinterest and a crock pot recipe that I've been wanting to try.  This seemed to be the perfect day to try it out!  The original recipe came from Six Sister's Stuff.  If you've never checked them out, you really should.  They have so many great recipes, a few that I have tried in the past and many more that I hope to try very soon!

 Okay here's what you'll need:

3-4 pound roast
12 oz Coca Cola
3/4 C dark brown sugar 
3/4 C Heinz chili sauce
3/4 C ketchup
3/4 pkg. dry onion soup mix
4-5 new red potatoes
1.5-2 C baby carrots




The directions state to combine all the ingredients in a crock pot and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours.  I had to modify these slightly as I didn't get it all together until noon and couldn't wait until after 8 pm to eat.  So I put it on high for the first 3 hours and then cooked it on low until 6:30 or so.  It was done and the meat was so tender that I couldn't remove it in one piece.  I probably didn't need to cook it on high for as long as I did, but it tasted wonderful and it's been deemed a keeper!





It really was super easy and received the stamp of approval so I know that this is something I will be making again!  Yummmm!
