Menu Thinks: Biscuits

3:18 PM Posted by EmmaElaine , No comments

Things to try adding:

Bacon grease instead of butter
Cheddar cheese
Garlic powder and oregano

Breakfast Menu:
  1. Biscuits, fried eggs, and bacon. Split a biscuit, slather it in butter, and make an egg and bacon sandwich. 
  2. Biscuits, cream cheese and honey, and fresh fruit. Cut biscuit in half, spread each half with cream cheese, drizzle with honey, and top with fresh fruit. Eat open-faced like a bagel. 
  3. Biscuits, butter, and cinnamon. Make cinnamon toast out of a biscuit!
Lunch Menu:
  1. Biscuits, burgers, burger fixings (lettuce, tomato, onion, mustard, ketchup, relish, mayo, Colby jack, avocado, mushrooms, provolone cheese, arugula, fresh spinach, peppers, coleslaw, pineapple, etc.). Form biscuits a little flatter before baking. Use biscuits as buns and load 'em up!
Supper Menu:
  1. Biscuits, grilled chicken strips, mashed potatoes, and broccoli.
Other Thinks:
  • Biscuits are perfect for a quick addition to any meal, especially suppers. Last minute guests? Didn't get the potatoes peeled in time? All out of rice? Biscuits to the rescue!

    Menu Thinks: Cinnamon Rolls

    3:16 PM Posted by EmmaElaine , No comments
    Things to try adding:

    Honey, softened butter, and cinnamon instead of the brown sugar filling provided in mix
    Orange roll filling instead of the brown sugar filling provided in mix
    Pecans
    Chocolate chips
    Cream cheese frosting on top

    Breakfast Menu:
    1. Cinnamon rolls, sausage, and fresh fruit.
    2. Cinnamon rolls, yogurt, and fresh fruit.
      Other Thinks:
      • These are simply scrumptious right out of the oven, but they are twice as good leftover and re-heated.
      • Can easily be frozen after individual rolls have been cut. Place unbaked rolls on a cookie sheet, cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 24 hours. Transfer frozen rolls from cookie sheet to Ziploc bag for longer-term storage. Now you can bake individual cinnamon rolls whenever you want! Simply pull out a frozen roll, place in baking pan, and insert into oven while preheating to help thaw the roll. Once oven is pre-heated, bake until golden brown, 15-20 minutes.
