Cheddar Bay Biscuits (Red Lobster Style)

These are so good, you’ll slap your mother and ask yourself why in the hell you wasted so much time at Red Lobster when you could have been making these delicious cheesy morsels at home! I am so serious. That is not a joke.
Anyway, just about everyone I know who isn’t a Red Lobster’Nazi is obsessed with their delicious Cheddar Bay Biscuits. People order extras just to bring them home and savor the flavor a day later. I’m know I’m guilty of that right there…
I mean, they’re the kinda biscuit that after sitting down at your table at Red Lobster, you get a little perturbed if your waiter hasn’t stopped by to take your drink order because that’s usually when they bring the biscuits….with your drinks. Unless you get one of those “in the know” waiters who bring those babies immediately. But you’re usually just sittin there, toe tappin’, thumb-twiddling, gazing across the room looking for your waiter with your basket of Cheddar Bay biscuits wrapped so adorably in their white napkin to preserve heat. Awww yeah! Here she comes. Must calm down. She sets the basket down, and you immediately unwrap the one item that would bring tears to a unicorn. You reach for the one in the middle because you know it’s the warmest…and you take that desperate first bite and feel your tongue pop’lockin and hittin it’s dougie. Finally. Relief. You’re happy as hell you finally got your Cheddar Bay biscuit. All is right with the world.
What if I told you that you could have that same satisfaction at home?
Yes, you can…and best of all, it doesn’t come with batteries.
This recipe can be switched up so that you’re able to use any cheese you’d like. Try gruyere, fontina, gouda, pepperjack, or parmesan instead of cheddar, for example. Yum.

CHEDDAR BISCUITS (RED LOBSTER STYLE)
 

 
PREP TIME
COOK TIME
TOTAL TIME
 
inspired by Red Lobster
Serves: 10-12 biscuits
INGREDIENTS
  • 2 cups Bisquick mix
  • 3 tbsp cold butter, cubed or grated
  • 1½ cups cheddar cheese, finely shredded
  • ⅔ cup cold milk
  • 1 pinch garlic salt
  • 1 tsp granulated garlic (or garlic powder)
Garlic Herb Butter to brush on top:
  • 4 tbsp butter (salted)
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • ¼ tsp dried oregano
  • ¼ tsp granulated garlic (or garlic powder)
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
For the Garlic Herb Butter
  1. In a microwave safe bowl, melt the 4tbsp of butter and mix in the dried parsley, dried oregano, and granulated (or garlic powder). Mix well and set aside.
For the biscuits
  1. Spray cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray, or use a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the bisquick, butter, garlic salt, granulated garlic (or garlic powder) together. Add the cheese and toss with the dry mixture to coat. Add the milk and mix with a large spoon or your hands. The dough will be somewhat sticky, which is perfect for that "drop biscuit" appearance.
  3. Spoon the biscuits onto your cookie sheet about 3 inches apart.
  4. Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes, then remove from oven and brush them with the garlic herb butter.
  5. Put them back in the oven for an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
  6. Remove from oven and serve immediately.
  7. Try not to slap your mother.

Pineapple Salsa

Yea…I do realize that it’s no longer summer, but when I have a craving for something…then I have to have it. I wanted a fresh, cool, sweet yet spicy burst of summer despite it being “ugg season”… This is delicious. It’s a very basic fruit salsa recipe that you can alter to make your own. You can add additional fruits if you want, different peppers, beans — anything you want. Make sure you use a red onion though, don’t use any other kind because it won’t taste right. Fruit salsas are excellent over savory meats such as chicken or steak, but they’re even better on seafood. This baby here provides you with freshness, brightness, sweetness and heat. I used 2 very tiny Serrano peppers for this recipe, and I left some of the seeds from one in and removed the rest. I wanted a balanced heat, one that would compliment the natural sweetness of the fruit. I didn’t see any whole pineapple’s at Whole Foods today, but they did have these cup size “to go” packets of fresh pineapple an...

Cinnamon Swirl Biscuit W/ a Buttery Maple Glaze..... and Bacon!

I love biscuits, and I love cinnamon rolls. So I decided to combine the two. This method is a whole helluva lot faster, and I’m a glutton for deliciousness! These are insane. I’m not even kidding. One bite, and everything wrong in your world will just suddenly be right. You won’t even care that your boyfriend forgot your name, or that your wife accidentally spilled nail polish remove all over your brand new iPad. Well…that might be a stretch, but you’ll at least forgive her a little faster if she makes these for you  I wish I could describe how delicious these were, but you’ll just have to make them for yourselves and see what the fuss is all about. The biscuits themselves are super tender, soft, buttery and delicious. Then there’s the maple glaze that compliments it perfectly, topped off with crunchy, tiny little pieces of salty smokey bacon. Man, listen…if you make these for someone special, they’ll never leave your life. I created this recipe not really knowing how it’d t...

Bourbon French Toast

Decadence. Pure decadence. This is a recipe for adults, but you’re more than welcome to leave the bourbon out of this recipe if you’re sensitive to alcohol, or feeding kids. This french toast is flavored with sweet vanilla, cinnamon and is spiked with bourbon, making it perfect for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. It’s your party. I used challah bread, which is an egg bread and super rich and creamy in texture. It soaks up the custard wonderfully, and after being baked off for a good 15 minutes in the oven, you’re ensured it’s all the way cooked thru. You don’t have to use challah bread either, but I suggest giving it a try at least once in your life. It’s pretty awesome for rich french toast recipes. I bought my loaf fresh, so I had to dry it out in the oven for about 20 minutes in a 300 degree oven while prepping. Even after drying it out a bit, it was still incredibly moist. I let it soak about 10 seconds per side, until saturated but not soggy and falling apart. Again, just m...
