So I picked up this Better Homes and Garden
Holiday Recipes Magazine
the other day..
Inside the magazine was this picture and recipe for
Double Cheddar Biscuit Sandwiches.
Looks yummy, yes?
Lets take a closer look at THEIR picture of this biscuit in the magazine.
Now,
this was mine.
Now my biscuit looks NOTHING like THEIR picture and I made it exactly, exactly according to the instructions!!!
Theirs.
Mine.
Seriously, WTHeck????!!
And what are those red things in the biscuit in THEIR picture??
Cuz the recipe has nothing RED in the ingredients...
NOTHING!!!
Cuz the recipe has nothing RED in the ingredients...
NOTHING!!!
And to top it off, MY biscuits came out thin and not thick like the picture.
I swear I followed the directions perfectly!!!

I
HATE
BAKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe I went into it with a bad attitude though.
But the Cajun-Spiced Ham I made from the same magazine rocked!!!!
Pure deeeeeliciousness is what this ham was.
Here's the recipe for the Cajun-spiced ham.

Yup,
put that big ol'
5-7 lb. fully cooked ham
on a rack in a roasting pan.

And rub, rub, rub this delicious Cajun rub on all sides!
Cook for an hour and a half and remove from oven....LOOK!
YUM!!!
Slice this cajuny-spiced meat up.
Plate up that yummy ham between the Cheddar Biscuits of which I need therapy for and eat away!
Again, this is a delicious way to season up a fully cooked ham!!! Ima definitely use this ham recipe again.
Look at the biscuit recipe though; where is ANYTHING red in it...anything?

These biscuits, even though there were thin, were complimentary with this ham. On their own, not a ton of taste, but with this ham....fantastic!
So these are the fixins for the Cheddar Biscuits....
Shred up that yummy white cheddar cheese and yellow sharp cheddar cheese...
....like this!
Now mix up the dry ingredients...
Throw the cut up butter into the dry ingredients.
Cut in with a pastry cutter.
My pastry cutter is actually called
a
"blender."
I hate baking.
Mix the shredded cheese into the dry ingredients...
Add the buttermilk and
heavy cream....
So spread the dough out on a flour covered counter or surface.
And this is about the time this note came into play.
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Get out the rolling pin.
Yawn.
Roll the dough out on the counter.
The dough actually rolled easy,
I thought I was doing well.
Use your biscuit cutters and cut out biscuits.
Again, this was easy.
Spread them out on a prepared pan.
Add the thyme and spread some cream on the tops.
Bake 16-18 minutes until golden.
By the way, my biscuits never got golden either.
And this is what you get.
A saucer.
With some thyme on it.

You know, frankly, these biscuits were good,
not stunning, but good
and we did eat that DEEEELICIOUS AS ALL GET OUT HAM between the "biscuits" as sandwiches. I may have loaded mine up with mustard and drizzled with real maple syrup.
Let me tell you, it didn't matter that the biscuits weren't big and fluffy when I did that;
it was allll good!
Okay, sometime this week I'll share the drama-free wild rice recipe from the same magazine.
Fantastic and so easy to make!!!
Okay gotta go...
Heading to St. Louis shortly for a concert at this venue tonight...The Fox Theater.
Built in 1929 in all it's opulence,
this is a view from the stage.
A couple VIP tickets (tickets set aside for the promoter and band) came open to this sold out show two days ago and I lucked out and was the first to call in and see if any were available! A few had just opened up just moments before I called!
