cheddar bay biscuits at home

last weekend i saw a red lobster commercial and had an immediate craving for cheddar bay biscuits. since mike is still off his feet and we don't have one close by, i searched for recipes and combined a few to make them semi-homemade!  here you go!

ingredients:

- 2 cups of bisquick mix

- 1 cup shredded mild cheddar (half mild/half sharp if desirable - preferably yellow cheese to add some color)

- 2/3 cups milk

- 3/4 tablespoon garlic powder

- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)

- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt 

directions:

- preheat the oven to 400 degrees

- in a large bowl combine bisquick, cheese, and garlic powder and mix by hand.

- stir in milk until blended.

- drop batter in tablespoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet.

- bake for 10 minutes.

-while baking, combine the melted butter, parsley, and garlic salt.

- take biscuits out of the oven and brush with the butter mixture.

- bake brushed biscuits for another 5-6 minutes.

see - not too difficult, and so delicious!

super bowl weekend

living with 4 guys, obviously super bowl weekend is a big deal, especially this year in new england.  to make the weekend more interesting, we have jeff's parents' 2 goldens here for the weekend... they are so fun! roxy isn't really afraid of them, i just think they are a bit overwhelming - jack and jill don't really seem to care about her either!

for the super bowl, i plan on making a few different things, and i will post the recipes next week.  so far on the list are:

- cheddar biscuits (hopefully like the ones from red lobster, with a recipe adapted from all recipes)

- macaroni and cheese (my mom's homemade recipe)

- chili cheese dip

- maybe something for dessert!

another week in the books

another successful week teaching little elementary students golf. this week was a lot of fun, and like my past couple weeks, has opened my eyes to the lives of inner city kids.  it makes me so happy to see them having fun and enjoying golf after what i have heard and seen about their lives elsewhere in school and at home.  

now, and for the rest of the weekend, i am on the couch after having very minor surgery on my back. i had an unknown something removed, and even though the stitches aren't very comfortable, they are making me have excellent posture! so here i am, sitting on the couch, with my laptop, watching season 6 of 7th heaven with headphones in (super guilty pleasure... got seasons 6-8 for christmas), laughing while mike and dave play super mario on the wii and banter about who is the worse partner. 


here are a few pictures from my week...

out to dinner early in the week with our friends

family dinner later in the week with the roomies

see! perfect posture! 

and now sharing a dinner of tortellini and brownie batter (not together) with rox
