Cheese Biscuits

11.28.09

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  This year was a little lonely without my parents down here.  The past three years they have been down to spend Thanksgiving with us, but this year they decided to stay in Atlanta. I have to say I missed my mom’s help in the kitchen this year.  Even though they weren’t here I still cooked the same big Thanksgiving meal.  There was turkey, cornbread dressing, broccoli casserole, sweet potato biscuits, and my favorite sweet potato casserole and to top it off Pecan Pie Cheesecake for dessert.  After naming all these things I’m glad I was able to go running on Thanksgiving morning.  Overall, it was a great day and what better to spend it with my wonderful husband and my girls!  I’m so thankful to have them in my life!  Oh ….and by the way the girls loved Thanksgiving dinner!

Now for these cheese biscuits….I made these for my company’s Thanksgiving Potluck and had several people ask for the recipe so I made another batch.   That way I could photograph them and post the recipe for everyone to enjoy.  It’s a very quick and easy recipe.   I have made these biscuits on several occasions for a quick side.  If you can believe these have no butter.  Paula Dean would probably not approve, but they are just fine without the butter. 

I usually try to capture pictures when the girls are down for their afternoon nap.  This time, I wanted to capture the biscuits right out of the oven.  It also happened to be before nap time!  As you can tell I had two little ones eager to take a bite of these biscuits and the whole time saying “mommy, yummy”. 

 You should have seen me too, I was holding out one arm and trying to block them out with my hip it almost felt like I was using my old high school basketball moves.  You know the one!  Basketball wasn’t my best sport either so it probably would have been better if someone took a picture of all this happening!  Thankfully our dog Parker was outside or it would have been three against one!  Not good!  Especially since Parker is a 85 pound golden retriever.

Hopefully, you can enjoy these biscuits when you need a last minute side for dinner.  Again, I hope everyone had a wonderful Turkey Day!!

    Hi Kristina,

    Thanks so much! Oh I loved the cheese biscuits at Red Lobster when I was growing up in the South. We don’t have one close by. So I haven’t had them in such a long time. They don’t have the butter that I think I’ve seen in some of cheese biscuit copies of the red lobster biscuits. Have you ever been to TastyKitchen.com they have some great recipes that are close to the Red Lobster biscuits.
    Thanks for stopping by!

    I have never tried greek yogurt to replace the cream but it’s a possible alternative. If you are looking for a low-fat version possible substitute milk?
    As for my favorite recipe. I would have to say hands down this recipe. It’s one of my go to cheese biscuit recipes. :)

    Thanks for stopping by!

  1. [...] I actually ate this soup both cold and warm but I highly recommend it warm.  Serve with biscuits or bread of choice.  The perfect lunch time or dinner [...]
