Red Lobster Cheddar Biscuits Copy Cat

The other night I was craving the Red Lobster biscuits. I knew I had a recipe for them that I had never tried so I dug it out and made them. I unfortunately have no clue where I printed this recipe up from (I believe I printed it 2 years ago), so I'm sorry if this is your recipe, I don't know who to give credit to.

And I didn't take pictures sadly. The next time I make them I'll try to take them.

Red Lobster's Cheddar Biscuits
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups Bisquick baking mix
3/4 cup cold whole milk
4 tablespoons cold butter (1/2 stick) (important that it is cold)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 heaping cup grated cheddar cheese

Brush on top:
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
pinch of salt

Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
2. Combine Bisquick with cold butter in a medium bowl using a pastry cutter or a large fork. You don't want to mix too thoroughly. There should be small chunks of butter in there that are about the size of peas. Add cheddar cheese, milk, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. Mix by hand until combined, but don't over mix. (I mixed to where just everything was coated.)
3. Drop approximately 1/4-cup portions of the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
4. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits begin to turn light brown.
5. While the biscuits are in the oven, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl in the microwave (I did this in 15-20 sec intervals). Stir in 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes.
6. Brush the garlic butter over the tops of the biscuits immediately after you remove them from the oven. I used all the butter spread. Makes approximately on dozen biscuits.
7. Enjoy!

I ended up eating 3 in a row. They were sooooooo good!!!

Chicken & Cheese Lasagna Roll Up

Monday night I tried a new recipe I found through Pintrest. Needless to say, my family didn't care for it. I ended up throwing most of it away. It lacked flavor, so if I decide to make it again I will be tweaking the recipe more than I did this time. This recipe is from iVillage 

It seemed simple enough and sounded good on paper but it wasn't that great.

This is the finished product


This is the cheese and chicken mixture for the middle of the roll ups.


 It smelled good too.



 
Here's the recipe if you would like to try. I am open to suggestions on how to "spice" it up.



Chicken and Cheese Lasagna Roll-Ups
Adapted from: iVillage

Ingredients
3 cups chopped chicken (I used 3 chicken breasts)
1 cup Ricotta cheese
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup Milk
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
9 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
2 cups spaghetti sauce

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375ยบ F
2. In medium bowl, combine chicken, cheeses, milk and pepper.
3. In a 13x9-inch baking dish, spread 1 cup spaghetti sauce.
4. Spread 1/2 cup mixture on each lasagna noodle; roll.
5. Arrange lasagna rolls, seam side down in sauce.
6. Top with remaining spaghetti sauce.
7. Cover with aluminum foil.
8. Bake for 30 minutes or until hot.
9. Serve, if desired, with additional Parmesan cheese.


Note:
One thing I will do different is add more sauce on top of the rolls. I think that will add more flavor to it.
Please if anyone has any suggestions I could really use them!!

Pepperoni & cheese rolls

Today Cordell, David, & I went to Epcot. Of course, in our rush to leave the house I forgot to take out the chicken for dinner. So when we came home I had to think of something for us to eat. So I came up with these. (I didn't take pictures while I made them because I didn't think I was going to post about it)

But after I made them and Cordell had 4 of them he told me I better eat otherwise he'll eat them all. So I grabbed 2, and he sneaked behind me and grabbed the other 2. I only made 8, I should have made more. They were that good. So here's the recipe:

Pepperoni & Cheese rolls

2 cans of crescent rolls
8 things of string cheese
Pepperoni
3 tablespoons butter (melted)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Preheat oven to 350.

Cut the string cheese in half. Roll the string cheese and pepperoni up in the crescent rolls. Seal around the ends to keep all the gooey cheesy goodness inside. Place on a greased cookie sheet.

Mix melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush or spoon mixture on the rolls.

Place rolls in the oven for about 13-16 mins until light golden brown.

I hope you enjoy!!!
