Bisquick has met its match. Introducing . . . Whole-Wheat Cheese and Herb Drop Biscuits I made these dense-but-fluffy biscuits for my family’s Christmas dinner, and they were a huge hit.

Healthy Monte Cristo Sandwich
If you love french toast, you have to try this sweet but savory sandwich. It’s perfect for brunch, lunch or dinner, and the hot, egg-dipped bread adds that extra something to the plain ham and cheese combo.

Lusting after beef
After a meatless Friday, I crave protein and red meat like it’s nobody’s business on Saturday. Let’s face it – an active college girl cannot subsist on beans and eggs alone! What satisfies this meat craving? A plump and juicy burger! However, this is no ordinary burger. This is a knife-and-fork fajita burger, and you may as well wrap it up in … Continue reading »
The Garbage Meal
No, this recipe is not made from garbage. However, the variety of ingredients and ways in which you can customize this recipe make it a trashy meal. Behold, the garbage bowl salad, where any and every ingredient is acceptable! Yes, I eat this salad out of a large mixing bowl because it is so big and satisfying. … Continue reading »
