7Up Biscuits

This was another recipe from "Pinterest New Recipe Day." I'm not a huge biscuit maker, but these sounded interesting, so I had to try them...they are better than McD's, but not quite as great as Hardees. Still a keeper, though!

7 Up Biscuits

2 cups Bisquick

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup 7-up

1/4 cup melted butter

Preheat oven to 450. Cut sour cream into biscuit mix, add 7-Up. Makes a very soft dough. (Read: HUGE MESS on your hands!) Sprinkle additional biscuit mix on board or table (hands!) and pat dough out. Cut with biscuit cutter. Melt 1/4 cup butter in a 9 inch square pan.  Place cut biscuits in pan and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Baked Potato Soup

New recipe day!!!!!

Today I tried 4 new recipes that I found from Pinterest...at least 3 were keepers!




 Crock-pot Baked Potato Soup

5 lbs Russet Potatoes, washed but NOT peeled. Diced into 1/2 inch(ish) cubes
1 lg. onion, diced
1 T. minced garlic
8 C. chicken stock
12 ozs. cream cheese (I used lowfat)
1 T. Lawry's

Directions:
- Add potatoes, onion, garlic, seasoning and chicken stock to slow cooker.
- Cook on high for 6 hours or low for 10 hours.
- Stir in the cream cheese and allow to melt. Mash part of the soup. (I used a manual food chopper. The original recipe called for using the blender, but I skipped that part because I didn't want to have to wash anything else!) Stir every 10-15 minutes until soup is well blended.
- Top with your choice of garnishes (cheddar cheese/bacon) & serve!
