The Best Cheddar Bay Biscuits

So, I have tried about 15 different Cheddar Bay Biscuit recipes until I decided to start combining them to create my own.  This recipe is THE BEST. 

Most of the recipes call for garlic powder, I switched it with minced garlic.  Then I put the oregano inside the biscuits instead of on top and voila!  They were out of this world!  I gave one to Eric and he literally fell on the floor (we are a little dramatic about it).  

BAKING TIP:  I always bake things on my pampered chef stone because they don't stick and they never burn on the bottom.  But, if you don't have a stone then you can use a regular baking sheet and just grease it. 


Here's the recipe:

2 Cups Bisquick 
3 Cloves Garlic, Minced
1 1/2 Cups Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
2/3 Cup Milk
1 tsp (ish) Oregano
2 Tablespoons Melted Butter (for the top) 

1. Preheat oven to 400.  Grease a baking sheet. 
2. Combine bisquick, garlic, cheese, milk, and oregano in a bowl.   
3. Once the dough is mixed well, place it right onto the greased baking sheet (I usually use my small melon baller), make sure they are not smoothed out, they need to be kind of spiky. 
4. Bake for 10 minutes (or until golden brown on top). 
5. Meanwhile, melt the butter and grab a baster brush for when the biscuits come out. 
6. Once biscuits come out, place them onto a serving platter and baste with butter then grind some fresh sea salt over them.  
7. Serve warm and try not to eat all of them yourself! Enjoy!

Turn your radiator into a humidifier

If you live in an old house and are lucky enough to have these beauties, I have a little trick for you!  Being a vocalist, I am kind of a diva about the humidity of my air.  When I told my mother that I had radiator heat she suggested this little trick!



Get a little tray of some sort (I got mine from dollar tree for $1), it helps to get a pretty one because it will be out with your decor all winter.  Also, make sure it is shallow enough that the water can be heated enough to evaporate in the air and that the pan is thin enough that the water will get hot enough. 




Then I put this cute little water jug on the radiator to remember to fill it up and make it easier. 


Putting both of them up there makes it easy for me to remember to fill it up and it looks kind of cute.  I notice a big difference when these little guys are filled up, verses when they aren't.  

So, there you go!  Free humidifiers for your whole house!  (providing you have radiator heat)
