Biscuits!!!

I DID IT!  I made edible biscuits from scratch.  They were delicious.  Pat on the back for me.

ok, ok...enough of me tooting my own horn. 

I found a recipe on food.com.  The recipe is here.   I doubled it so we would have 18 biscuits but I think that I made them a little thick because I only got the 12 you see here!  Also, I reduced the salt.  I only used a third of what was called for.  A lot of the reviews said that they turned out salty and I didn't want that result.  The biscuits came out really fluffy and had a nice crunch on the outside.  YUM! 





Number 4 is done!  Holla!

Cheese cake brownies. YUM!

I had a chocolate craving a few days ago and this is what resulted from it:


It was DELICIOUS!  I recommend a glass of crisp, cold milk to wash it down with as it is a little on the rich side! I haven't found a homemade brownie recipe that I really like yet.  So I used a boxed brand.  It still needs a few adjustments like using less liquid than the box calls for to make up for the cheese cake part.  I'm still working on it but in the meantime here's how it happened:


Prepare 1 box of brownie mix (any brand will do) according to directions on package.  Pour into greased (I sprayed it with cooking spray) 9x13 cake pan ( I used glass).   Pour cheese cake (recipe below) slowly over the brownie mix.

 Cheesecake deliciousness:
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla


 I used my magic bullet (I know, I know, but that thing is FANTASTIC!).  If you don't have one you are going to want to use some sort of blending device for this recipe.  I tried using my mixer once and it DID NOT turn out!  It definitely needs to be pureed!


Take a butter knife and swirl the brownie and cheese cake batter together.  Bake according to the brownie box, cool, and enjoy!!  YUMMY!
