    BREADS: Cheese Garlic Biscuits

    (similar to Red Lobster's)

    Cheese Garlic Biscuits

    2 cups Bisquik (can use low fat)
    2/3 cup milk
    1/2 cup cheddar cheese (I use a little more)

    1/4 cup oleo, melted
    1/4 teas. garlic powder
    1/8 teas. parsley (I just a little more)

    Mix Bisquik, milk and cheese together. Drop by spoonsful on baking dish. (I make them about the size of a large egg or so) Bake @ 450degrees for 8-10 minutes.

    Combine oleo, garlic and parsley. Brush over baked biscuits.

    I double this if I'm feeding 6 or 8. Triple it for a dozen or so. They go pretty fast.

    Breakfast/Snack/Sweets: Monkey Bread

    I've been making this, wow, 25 years probably. My kids used to love making this, we'd alternate monkey bread and funnel cakes on Sunday evenings. My kids are 28 and 21 now and it's still a special treat to get Monkey Bread!

    Monkey Bread

    4 cans biscuits, cut into 4ths
    1 cup sugar
    2-3 teas. cinnamon
    1 teas. nutmeg (can omit)
    1 stick oleo, melted
    3/4 cup brown sugar
    2 teas. cinnamon
    Chopped pecans, optional

    Roll each piece of biscuit in sugar mixture. Mound into a Bundt pan, angelfood cake pan or round 2 quart baking dish (with a glass inserted in the center) Sprinkle pecans intermittently.

    Mix oleo, brown sugar and cinnamon over low heat til dissolved.
    Pour over top of biscuit pieces.
    Bake 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
    Remove from oven, invert on heat resistant plate. Remove pan, scrape out any goodies. Serve warm.

    Dessert~Fudge Brownie Pizza

    Frosted Brownie Pizza

    It's nearly impossible to eat just one piece of this dessert pizza with its chewy, chocolate crust, creamy peanut butter frosting and sweet crunchy toppings!

    1/2 cup butter (no substitutes)
    2 (1-ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
    1 cup sugar
    3/4 cup all-purpose flour
    2 large eggs, beaten
    Frosting:
    1 cup powdered sugar
    1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
    1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    2 to 4 tablespoons milk
    Toppings:
    3/4 cup plain candy-coated chocolate candies
    1/2 cup flaked coconut, toasted
    1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
    In a saucepan over low heat, melt butter, chocolate and sugar. Remove from the heat; stir in flour until smooth. Add eggs and beat until smooth. Spread onto a greased 12-inch pizza pan.
    Bake at 350*F (175*C) for 15 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
    For frosting, in a mixing bowl, beat sugar, peanut butter, vanilla and enough milk to achieve desired spreading consistency. Spread over brownie crust. Top with chocolate candies, coconut and pecans.
    Makes 8 to 10 servings.
