That guitar cake is jammin'!! Couldn't resist. ?
Seriously, that's really cool. Do you have plans to open a business at some point?
I don't like store-bought baked goods unless they're from an actual bakery. They taste like chemicals and muffins and cookies shouldn't have 75 ingredients.
I'd love to see a picture of the fish cake if you have one.
They're mushy and gray. Peas should be green lol
I loathe canned cheese and spray cheese, but one of my sons loves it, so I will buy it occasionally for him. It's hilarious, because when he takes it out of the pantry, all the dogs come running and circle him. I had a past date can of it a few months ago, and would put it on their crunchy biscuits as a special treat, so now they've identified it as a target, along with cold coagulated leftover gravy. ?
He'll put it on a slice of fried Spam or squirt it directly into his mouth. I just can't. ?
Those look so good!! I haven't ordered the White Lily flour yet.
Also, forgot- Thank you very much for the spoon bread recipe! I made it last night and it was really good, much better than the last recipe I used. Easier too. I have a big family also so I doubled the recipe. It came out great! It made twelve servings and there was only one left.
It was the first recipe I ever used that called for it to be baked at 325 instead of 350. I think that contributed to it being fluffy and pudding-like.
@polarberry Yyyaaaaayyy! So glad the proof was in the eating!!!! Only one serving left? Denotes a hit!!!! :-) Oh almost forgot.. one quick tip... If ever your gravy coagulates? Just add more liquid and reheat it. Sawmill gravy (aka cream or milk gravy) or gravy for roasts etc .. use some of the broth or add a touch of water and reheat...and voila.. like fresh again. One thing I was thinking as I made the biscuits and sausage and gravy this morning? I noticed what I have taken for granted all these years... this meal? Uses everything.. no waste. You make your biscuits and while they are baking you brown your sausage, add your leftover flour from the biscuits and it gets all that good pan fond from the sausage blended in for flavor and no waste! The smell of it cooking gets folks around here out of bed faster than the smell of coffee. :-)
I'm eating the one leftover portion now lol
I am terrified to write this, but here goes (takes deep, shuddering breath), I HATE biscuits and gravy! I would never reheat gravy because I don't even like it when it's fresh; I can't even imagine eating it reheated. Please don't hate me because I consider you southern gals my friends, and I love a lot of southern recipes, but that's on my breakfasts-from-hell list! ? The no-waste part is good.
I do love a good biscuit. Lots of butter and honey. I went to the White Lily website and they have a buttermilk biscuit recipe I want to try. Brian Hart's?
@polarberry "Aw Sugah bless yore heart!" No, no.. it's ok not to like gravy!!!! I was forced to eat some things as a child (that trauma with the peas being one) I swore as a child of 9 years old I would NEVER make my child eat anything they truly disliked... I would only say try a bite.. if you don't like it you don't have to eat it. But if you don't try it you won't ever know if you like it or not. I have made good on that oath and am in my 60 somethings now.
I love a good biscuit with butter and honey. Or with some butter and brown sugar (some family members used to call it a Sugar Booger) I also make blueberry biscuits with lemon glaze, cinnamon raisin biscuits, cheese biscuits and more.
One of my favorite ways to eat a biscuit? ( and I am with your Mom on this... store boughten maters don't have much taste a'tall. Can't beat one fresh picked from the garden!) Is split the biscuit (made that morning) and put a thick slice of tomato (salt and pepper) and a slice of Vidalia onion on it and put it back together and eat it like a sandwich. Leftover biscuits the next day? split and butter and toast and pour Golden Eagle Syrup or Sorghum syrup or molasses over it and enjoy. Also good with butter and my homemade jams and preserves.
Keep exploring that White Lily site and Brenda Gantt's too ~ we'll make an honorary Southerner out of you yet!
@lenor- It is processed cheese food that you can squeeze out of a can. It probably takes 5 to 7 years off of one's life per serving, but I grew up eating it on Ritz crackers. I just love it.
@journeywithme2 Nice! Beautiful color. I make my biscuits on a pan just like that. ?
