Anyway...tonight I tried a new biscuit recipe for dinner. I finally got some rave reviews from my little food critics. Lately I haven't been doing so hot. Either I screw the food up somehow (burning uhmmm...I mean it’s Cajun style!) or I don’t screw it up, but they still don’t like it. Tonight I got thank you’s across the board and even a hug :) Wow! Maybe I won’t throw in the cooking towel. Oh, by the way the recipe is a Whole wheat, cheesy, sweet potato biscuit. They turned out very close to the texture of the cheesy biscuits that they serve at Red Lobster. We also had T-bone steak and roasted asparagus. Here’s the recipe if you want to try them out:
Note: these are drop biscuits. It saves me the time of not having to scrub off my counter when I do it this way.
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour plus 1 cup whole wheat flour
6 tsp. baking powder
3 teaspoons white sugar
2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons shortening
1 ½ cup mashed sweet potatoes ;plus ¼ cup heavy cream (optional) I had some in my fridge I needed to use up and I used it to smooth out my blended canned sweet potatoes.
½ cup milk
¾ cut thinly shredded cheese
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut in the shortening until pieces of shortening are pea-sized or smaller. Mix in the sweet potatoes, and milk. It will make a thick sticky dough. Now fold in the cheese.
Use a spoon or mechanical scoop to drop desired sized biscuits onto greased cookie sheet. I made mine a little larger than a ping pong ball.
Bake for 12 to 15
minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
This recipe makes about 22 biscuits.
Enjoy :)

Your post makes me laugh. Though I am glad that I am not the only one who feels like they are a completely different person once a month ;)
