Biscuits and Syrup


Growing up we always ate cane syrup at home. In fact, I did not even know what maple syrup was at all. Biscuits with cane syrup was a great treat. Even if we just had canned biscuits, this delectable southern treat was hard to walk away from..Last night, I got to share this treat with some of my new friends here...I forgot how good butter, flour, milk, and syrup could be...it was great..And the fellowship with the food made it even better.

Awesome Last Minute Meals

I had a great recipe for easy Paella. I love Paella. There are some recipes for Paella that take a long time to prepare. I found a quick version of this classic using chicken sausage. I was intrigued so I decided to give it a try. As I set out to prepare this dish, I discovered that I did not have all of the ingredients that the recipe said I needed. I never let this predicament stop me. I always use what I have. This strategy will save you time and money. The recipe called for fresh peppers, mushrooms, onions, garlic, zucchini, yellow rice, and chicken sausage. I had onions, zucchini, yellow rice, and chicken sausage. I thought for a moment about how I was going to get the pepper taste with no peppers. I then remembered that I had some tomatoes with green chillies in the pantry and I decided that it might work. I sauteed the onions, zucchini, chicken sausage,and added the tomatoes. I cooked the rice and added it to the mixture. Let it simmer a while, so all the flavors could combine. Then we devoured it. My hubby even took the leftovers to work for lunch..It was delicious.

Food, Family, Fun

I love to cook. I am passionate about food. I like food that is fresh, unprocessed, and easy to prepare. I face a struggle daily providing for my family food that they will like and that is easy to prepare on a budget. I think cooking should be fun and not stressful. It is a big stress reliever for me.
I hope to share recipes and ideas that will make your life easier and provide you with great recipes. I will also provide links to some of my favorite websites and other bloggers that I have found helpful.
