Let the Cooking Begin!

Well hello there!

It's been quite awhile so how about a quick catch-me-up?

Biggest event - I graduated from Truman! Wooo
Second biggest event  - One of my brothers graduated basic training for the Navy! Wooo
Third biggest event - I have a job bussing! Wooo

   Now I'm just chilling at home until August when I will (Lord willing) go to a graduate school for a Masters in Social Work.  Until then, I'm working, playing with the dogs, being uh...decently active, and get this, cooking!

That's right, this little chica is finally learning to cook with the best of'em.  Or at least...I'm learning not to burn everything.  Almost.  I learned just yesterday that you can actually burn butter....who knew??

If any of you happen to enjoy pinterest.com I would highly encourage you to check out the food pins.  I found a recipe for Red Lobster quality cheddar garlic biscuits.  They were great.  And in case you want to know how to make those delicious little morsels, you're in luck.  Here's the recipe!


      Enjoy!!

1 pack buttermilk biscuit mix (I used Jiffy, about 1 1/2cups)
1 1/2cups shredded cheddar cheese (I used mozzarella cheese, cheddar would probably be better)
1/2 cup milk
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp oregano
3/4 tsp garlic salt

1. Preheat oven to 400F. Spray cooking sheet with non-stick spray. (Or coat with a little bit of oil)

2. Mix biscuit mix and milk together in bowl then mix in the cheese. It should be a sticky-ish kind of dough.

3. Using spoon, drop lumps of dough onto cookie sheets 1.5in. Biscuit dough doesn't expand much, so make your drops pretty much the size you want the biscuits to be.  Bake for 10min.

4. In a bowl, melt butter and mix with oregano and garlic salt. (I learned that butter can burn!  Don't put it in the microwave for too long!)

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. (I didn't add the last 5-6 minutes and they turned out fine.)
 Take those puppies out, serve immediately, and enjoy the tasty morsels! 


Next time I'm posting German Cucumber salad! Yuummm

 Let me know if you use this, I'd love to hear how it turns out!
