Garlic Cheese Biscuits

These are very good and came from my favorite cookbook, Dining on a Dime. I made them because I happened to have the ingredients on hand one day, and I was impressed with the way they turned out!

Ingredients:
2 cups flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder (I used a little more)
2 Tbsp. chives (I left these out because I didn't have any on hand)
3/4 c. cheddar cheese, finely grated (more or less to taste)
4 Tbsp. shortening
1 c. milk or sour milk

Mix flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, chives and Cheddar cheese in a bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or fork until it resembles cornmeal. Add milk, stirring just enough to combine ingredients. Do not over stir. Drop by tablespoonfulls onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake 450 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 10 biscuits.

Cindy Davis Green Beans

This green beans are named in honor of the pastor's wife in the church where I grew up. They have a sweet, buttery taste that I honesty cannot get enough of!

Melt & Whisk:
1 c. butter
1 tsp. soy sauce
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. garlic

Pour on top of:
3 drained cans of green beans (we always use the big flat ones for this; they hold the sauce best)
3 slices bacon

Cover and marinate over night.
Bake at 350 for 30-45 mins.

This makes a BIG portion! For Jon & I, I will use one big can of green beans and divide hte sauce somehow (not sure how yet)

Chimichurri Sauce

Apparently, my version of Chimichurri sauce is a little bit unconventional. Most recipes seem to be made with parsley, but I found myself with a huge bunch of cilantro that I didn't know what to do with... So it went into a sauce! Soooo good, but it WILL give you killer breath--you can count on it. We ate this on everything for about a week--sandwiches, pasta, fajitas, etc.!


Fresh Cilantro (I used almost a whole bunch)
8 cloves of garlic (yeah, 8)
3/4 c. olive oil
1/4 c. red wine vinegar
3 Tbsp. lime juice
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper

Blend until it looks right.

Shrimp-in-Love Pasta

This was so good! We ate it as the main course for our special first Valentine's meal. I can't remember if I added some extra spices or not... Probably so, because from the ingredients listed, it looks a little bit bland.

4 oz. linguine, uncooked

1 cup cleaned medium fresh shrimp

2 medium tomatoes, chopped (about 1 cup)

1/2 cup PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese Spread

1-1/2 cups torn cleaned spinach

COOK linguine as directed on package.

MEANWHILE, heat large skillet on medium-high heat. Add shrimp, tomatoes and cream cheese spread; cook and stir 3 to 4 minutes or until shrimp are cooked through and mixture is well blended.

DRAIN pasta; place in large bowl. Add spinach; toss lightly. Stir in shrimp mixture. from Kraftfoods.com

Green Chili Chicken & Rice Skillet

Jonathan didn't like this recipe very much, but I loved it. I froze the left-overs (sans cheese) and when I reheated them, it was like having a healthy (cheap) TV dinner. I also added some Franks' Red Hot hot sauce to it, because I like a lot of heat and spice.

1/2 cup chopped green peppers (I used 1 tiny can green chilis)

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tsp. olive oil

3/4 cup diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained

3/4 cup canned black beans, drained, rinsed

1 cup water
