Buttermilk Biscuits w/ Guava Jelly

When you wake up in the morning and you start to yawn… that means it is time to make some breakfast and get yourself ready for the day. With breakfast comes the needed energy and nutrition to help power through the day until your next big meal. That is unless you are making breakfast in bed for either yourself or someone else and if that is the case, well then you need to check out these buttermilk biscuits that will surely set the day off on the right foot.

Light and fluffy, not dense and dry is our theory when it comes to making biscuits and this simple, tried and true recipe produces just what the Doctor ordered when it comes to having a little something, something to sop up your morning gravy with.

Remember to not over work the dough when rolling it out, or that will surely result in dry, heavy, disgusting biscuits.

After the biscuits come out of the oven, we like to slice em open with a fork (that helps to create nooks and crannies) and slather a bit of Guava Jelly & Butter inside to help give the rest of the meal some extra kick.

Enjoy!

The Food Holidays of January 2013

2013 looks to be “that year” for many people. The time has come for the public to take back their lives and return to what the true meaning of life is all about, helping those that are in need. 2012 saw many just as many tragedies as it did triumphs. The cold fact that people need to support each other and have each other’s backs, rings true now more than ever. Diet trends may come and go, but eating healthy should always be a high priority for us all. 

We want to thank everyone who graced us with a visit to the site, whether it be for a recipe or to point at laugh at the foolishness that is taking place over here, we appreciate your love. Thanks for all the comments and suggestions from our readers as well who let us know in 2012, they want even more recipes, more reviews and even more ideas on how to make the most out of a vacation even when the budget doesn’t want you to try.

As we always say, we are just happy to be here, to be able to serve you these delicious and hopefully at times, thought provoking pieces that keep bringing you back to the most important place in any home… The Kitchen.

Schar, the Gluten-Free brand that really cares about their consumers.

This post brought to you by Schar.  All opinions are 100% mine.



Schar has recently re-launched their Gluten-Free Heat & Serve items such as the: Sub Sandwich Rolls, Ciabatta Rolls and Baguettes. Imagine having to live life without eating bread. For those that suffer from Celiac disease or are Gluten-Intolerant, the pains that result from enjoying a sandwich make life seem unfair at best. Schar Club

We will be sure to have these on hand over Thanksgiving weekend as quite a few of our guests have Gluten allergies and instead of avoiding that issue we embrace it with the help of Schars great products.

We encourage everyone to take a peek at their site, sign up for their newsletters, contests and so on (they actually do give things away instead of just ask for an email address to fill up your inbox with junk.) Schar free sample Schar Gluten-Free Sub Sandwich Rolls are truly delicious, low in fat, are non-GMO and are an excellent source of fiber.

Perfect for your kids school lunches or adults on the go, Schar Sub Sandwich Rolls come individually wrapped in easy to store two-packs (that also ensure optimum freshness.) Load  your sandwich up with everything you can imagine, especially since Thanksgiving is next weekend, I am sure a Turkey or Ham Sandwich or two will be made during the days that follow. We have been serving our Turkey Meatball sandwiches on their rolls for some time now and have never had a complaint. Ciabatta fans will rejoice once they try Schars Ciabatta Bread which, literally tastes like it just came out of a traditional Italian bakery.

Schars Gluten-Free products offer bread-lovers a chance to enjoy the perfect accompaniment to any meal from a Chinese chicken Salad to a bowl of our classic Seafood Gumbo Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, Check out Schars website today and get to enjoying a life where great tasting Rolls have a starring role again.
