Savory Cheese Biscuit Recipe from Gooseberry Patch's "Weeknight Dinners"

Rustic Cheese Biscuit Recipe

Rolls are one of my favorite things about going out to eat at a restaurant. Almost all of them bring you a basket of rolls or biscuits, loaves of bread, or bread sticks. Some have great flavored butters or provide you with dipping sauces. No matter the form or the accouterments it’s always good.

We do try and serve a few of our own bread sides with our meals at home, too. Usually it’s heat-and-serve rolls or garlic bread, homemade cornbread, or on occasion a homemade loaf of bread. One thing I’ve wanted to try that I hadn’t so far, though, were cheese biscuits. They are a family-favorite when we go out to eat (Ashley says she could live on them) and I hoped that any homemade variety that I tried would be similar in taste.

Then I found this Savory Cheese Biscuit recipe in the new “Weeknight Dinners” cookbook from Gooseberry Patch. The recipe was submitted to the cookbook by J.C. Schmeltekopf and they are extremely fast and easy to make. They’re also really good. Hubby had one and said, “Hey that’s good”. Five minutes later he was saying, “Hey that’s really good” and kept commenting on them throughout the night. Always a good sign! Continue reading »

Bubbles’ birthday party is next weekend and I’ve been working on our menu. Most of the party ideas I found earlier were for sweets and decor; only one of them was for something to go with the meal. And while Minnie Oreo pops and cupcakes sound delicious, I think our guests might also like something savory. Appetizers, dips, and finger sandwiches all came to mind as they’re usually easy to throw together and people can graze while they talk and hang out.

My husband makes a great cheesy sausage dip that we often have for family gatherings and tailgating but I thought maybe for this party we’d have something just a bit different. I don’t want to serve my guests anything I haven’t tried before, though, so for the last few days I’ve been cooking up small batches of dip to sample. One that I found that I like is the Pleasing Pizza Dip submitted by Jennifer Crsip to Gooseberry Patch’s new cookbook Slow Cooking All Year ‘Round.

After a summer of unusually high temperatures – we’re talking multiple weeks of 100+ degree weather – the recent signs of fall have been a welcome treat. We’ve even put on a hoodie a time or three over the past few days. It’s also nice to be able to play outside more with Bubbles and not worry about melting.

Growing up in Maine, fall meant harvest. It was hard work, and by dinnertime we were definitely hungry! Casseroles always hit the spot as they were filling and warmed you up. Now fall is a time for football, trips to the zoo, picking apples and pumpkins, and watching the leaves change color. Much less stressful activities but casseroles still fit the bill for each of them.
