Quick Cheese Biscuits

Nicole
This is a super quick recipe. I needed bread for dinner and decided to give this recipe a try. It’s a good recipe, but despite the title it does not have a cheesy flavor. It’s very simple and light. I added a little butter to the top of these biscuits to give them more flavor.

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F.      
  2. Combine flour, baking powder and salt.
  3. Stir in cheddar.
  4. Cut in butter using pastry blender or 2 knives until coarse crumbs form.
  5. Using fork, stir milk into flour mixture until soft dough forms.
  6. Do not overwork or over-mix dough.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to drop biscuit on cookie sheets, 1in apart on ungreased baking sheet.
  8. Bake 10-15 minutes. (Watch them close)

Pan Fried Cabbage

Nicole

If you don’t like cabbage this is a great way to eat it. Not only is it super easy, practically fail proof the flavor is really great. Simple, and excellent what more do you need? I am not much of a cabbage person, but my husband is so I am always looking for ways to make it eatable for me. This recipe is one of my favorites!


Ingredients:
  • 8 oz of bagged cabbage (coleslaw is what I use then you get carrots too)
  • 4 ounces of bacon
  • Salt (if desired)
  • 1 onion

Directions:

  1. Thinly slice 4 ounces of bacon. It’s easy to slice when it’s partially frozen, and on a medium high heat begin to pan fry the bacon.
  2. When the bacon is cooked through, but not crispy add thinly sliced onion once the onion is cooked add 8 ounces of bagged cabbage. Mix all together
  3. Cooked until cabbage becomes limp.
  4. Add salt as needed

Crisyp Onion Straws

Nicole

On occasion we take unhealthy to a whole new level and make our own onion straws. They are so yummy and so fantastic that it’s really had to pass them up.

They are simple and delicious, and I don’t make them often enough, but they are worth the time and effort you have to put into them.

Ingredients:
  • 2 large onions
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 1/8 tsp. pepper
  • Oil for frying

Directions:

  1. Begin heating oil in a frying pan on medium high heat (adjust as needed). By the time your prep work is done your oil should be hot enough to fry (test your oil to make sure before frying)
  2. In a zip plastic bag add flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, zip up and shake all together
  3. Slice onion as thin as possible. I use a boning knife to get the onions super thin.
  4. Add sliced onions to the zip bag close and shake.
  5. Add onion a handful at a time to the oil (do not over crowd your frying pan) and fry until they are golden brown.
  6. Drain on a paper towel
  7. Repeat until onions are all cooked.
