Just Another Day

For breakfast I made Peanut Butter Baked Oatmeal (recipe below). The kids and I enjoyed it (oatmeal is not PE's favorite unless it is included in the making of cookies). We had a bit of a lazy day and it was nice. I worked on the cards for awhile today and probably got 1/4 of the whole process completed. Then I made dinner. We had Chicken Tetrazzini (one of the freezer meals), Cheddar Biscuits (recipe below) and steamed broccoli. Everything was delicious--I want the Chicken Tetrazzini recipe if I get it I will be sure to share.

Red Lobster's Cheddar Biscuits
from ABC News
Print Recipe

2 1/2 cups Copycat Bisquick Mix
3/4 cup cold milk
4 Tbsp cold butter (1/2 stick)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 heaping cup grated cheddar cheese

Bush on Top:
2 Tbsp butter, melted
1/4 tsp dried parsley flakes
1/2 tsp garlic powder
pinch salt

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Combine Bisquick with cold butter in a medium bowl using a pastry cutter or a large fork. You don't want to mix too thoroughly. There should be small chunks of butter in there that are about the size of peas. Add cheddar cheese, milk, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. Mix by hand until combined, but don't over mix. Drop approximately 1/4-cup portions of the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet using an ice cream scoop. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits begin to turn light brown. When you take the biscuits out of the oven, melt 2 tablespoons butter is a small bowl in your microwave. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and the dried parsley flakes. Use a brush to spread this garlic butter over the tops of all the biscuits. Use up all of the butter. Makes one dozen biscuits.
