Veggie and Cheese Biscuits

We've almost finished our first week of school and I am tired!  I'm glad we have a long weekend coming up.

This is the first year that I am driving 3 kiddos to 3 different school buildings.  I'm happy that the kids get to stay at their schools even though we have moved 20 minutes away into a rental house while our new home is being built.  I'm not as happy about becoming a full-time chauffeur and waking up at 5:45am.  Oh, and did I mention that our rental house only has 1 bathroom for all 6 of us to get ready in the morning!  Crazy, I know.  But, it's only temporary until our home is finished sometime next year. 

I've been trying to plan ahead as much as possible for meals since we are very busy right now.  My son joined the cross country team this year and by the time I have picked everyone up from school and practice, it's already dinner time when we get home.

So, I need some quick and healthy recipes like these Veggie and Cheese Biscuits.  These biscuits can be made ahead of time and simply reheated when needed.  I made 3 batches last week and stored some in the refrigerator and freezer.  They reheat well in the microwave and make a great snack or side dish.  My mom made these when I was a kid and I have always liked them. 

Ingredients (printable recipe)
1 (12 oz) can Pillsbury Grands Jr. buttermilk biscuits (make sure you get the Junior size)
2 cups chopped broccoli, cooked and drained
5 oz. cheddar cheese, shredded
1 large tomato (or 2 smaller tomatoes), diced
1/4 cup minced green onion or sweet onion
1 1/2 Tablespoons melted butter
Salt to taste
Cooking spray for muffin pan
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray muffin pan with cooking spray. Roll out biscuits into 4 inch circles. Press into muffin pan. Set aside.

In a bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Mix well. Spoon equal amounts into each biscuit. Bake until golden brown, about 12-13 minutes. Remove biscuits from pan and let cool slightly. Makes 10 filled biscuits.

Store extras in refrigerator and reheat in microwave for about 30 seconds. I've also stored these in the freezer and reheated them in the microwave for about 2 minutes at 80% percent power. (Each microwave is different, so you may need to adjust the times to what works with your microwave.)

First, I washed and diced the veggies. I steamed the broccoli before I chopped it.

Next, I rolled out my biscuits and put them inside the muffin pan.

Then, I mixed up the rest of the ingredients and........

started filling the biscuits inside the muffin pan.

There should be just the right amount of filling for 10 biscuits. Keep Packing and filling all the cups until you're out of the veggie/cheese filling. (I wish the cans of biscuit dough contained 12 biscuits, instead of only 10, oh well.)

Ready to eat!

The Results... 
Delicious!  My husband doesn't like canned biscuits (he prefers homemade), but he still likes these Veggie and Cheese Biscuits.  I like how easily they reheat in the microwave.  I can warm a couple up for a quick lunch in the afternoon.  The kids were split on these.  My son liked them, but my daughters didn't care for them, but they are not big fans of broccoli or onions.

This is a recipe you can "play" with and change the veggies if you like.  Just soften/cook any veggies that are crunchy like broccoli before adding them to the mix.

I'd like to know what quick and healthy recipes you make!  Share them here or over at our facebook page.  Thanks!

Whoopie Pie Cake

I've never made whoopie pies.  Mostly because I don't like the idea of baking and frosting a lot of little pies.  So, when I found this idea over at Cookies and Cups to make just one ginormous whoopie pie, I thought 'I can do that.'

Ingredients (printable recipe)
1 box of chocolate cake mix, prepared per package directions + 1 egg
Cocoa powder for dusting the cake pans
1 cup butter, room temperature
2 cups marshmallow creme
3 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 (9 inch) round cake pans and dust with cocoa powder, set aside.
2. Prepare cake mix according to package directions, but add an extra egg to the mix.
3. Split batter evenly between the 2 cake pans and bake for approximately 25 minutes or when top of cake springs back or toothpick comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool completely.
4. In stand mixer, beat butter and marshmallow creme together until smooth. Turn mixer to low and slowly add powdered sugar. Turn mixer back up and continue to mix until smooth, about another minute.
5. Spread the filling on top of one of the cakes. Top the filling with the other cake.
6. In small saucepan, bring heavy cream to almost a boil. Remove from heat and whisk in chocolate chips until smooth. Allow to cool for 10 minutes and then pour on top of cake.

Notes: Spray the measuring cup with cooking spray before adding the marshmallow creme. It will slide right out instead of sticking.

Adapted from Cookies and Cups
 

My regular cake pans are in storage, but these aluminum ones worked just fine. I buttered them really well before I dusted with cocoa powder.

Cooling off

Buttery, marshmallow creme filling mmmmmmmmmmm!

Here's all that marshmallow Buttercream on top of the first cake.

When the other cake gets put on top of the filling, it looks like a huge Whoopie Pie! BUT, we are not done. There's still the chocolate ganache to pour on top.

Here's your slice. Enjoy!

The Results...

I loved how simple this cake is to make.  My husband LOVED how it tasted and gave Whoopie Pie Cake a full 5 stars! 

The kiddos told me it was too sweet.....WHAT?!  They also told me that I gave them too much cake.  REALLY?!  I thought to myself, 'who are these kids and where are the ones that ask for dessert after we eat waffles or beg for cookies at 8am?'  cRaZy!  They still told me that they liked this cake and gave it 4 stars, though.

Chicken Spinach Artichoke Lasagna

If you're looking for a quick dinner, this isn't it.  I'm not gonna lie.  You'll need to plan on spending some time in the kitchen to make Chicken Spinach Artichoke Lasagna.  I had a free afternoon this week and decided to give this recipe a try. 

Ingredients (printable recipe)
9-10 lasagna noodles
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup diced onion
4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
salt and pepper
2 (14 oz.) cans artichoke hearts, well-drained
2 cups ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided (I used a mix of mozzarella and provolone)
1 beaten egg
1/2 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
3 cups fresh spinach leaves, stems removed
Sauce:
4 Tablespoons butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
dash of nutmeg
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
Directions
1. If using dried lasagna noodles, prepare them according to package directions and set aside.
2. In a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, chicken, Italian seasoning and season with salt and pepper.
3. Cook stirring occasionally until chicken is cooked through. Cut the artichokes in half and then in half again, dry off any moisture with paper towels. Stir them into the chicken and cook 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
4. In a large mixing bowl combine the ricotta, 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella, the egg, and parsley.
5. Make stacks out of the spinach leaves and cut them into thin strips (chiffonade). Mix them into the ricotta mixture---it will be thick.
Make the Sauce:
6. In a large, heavy duty saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and cook about 3 minutes, whisking often. Slowly whisk in milk. Turn heat up and bring to a simmer.
7. Maintain a simmer for about 4 minutes, stirring often. Turn heat down to low and stir in nutmeg, Parmesan cheese and a pinch or two each of salt and pepper, continue stirring until cheese is melted. Remove from heat.
Assemble the Lasagna:
8. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish.
9. Add a very thin layer of sauce over bottom of pan, then a layer of noodles covering the bottom completely from edge to edge. Spread 1/2 the ricotta mixture evenly from edge to edge, then top with 1/3 of the chicken artichoke mixture followed by 1/3 of the sauce.
10. Cover the filling with another layer of noodles followed with the remaining ricotta mixture, 1/3 of the chicken and 1/3 of the sauce.
11. Cover with another layer of noodles followed by the remaining sauce, the remaining chicken mixture and the 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.
12. Bake 45-50 minutes until bubbly and hot in the middle. If the top starts to get too brown, tent with aluminum foil. Allow to set 10 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.

Adapted from Cinnamon Spice and Everything Nice

I used dried lasagna noodles. I prepared them according to their package directions first and set them aside. I sprayed a baking sheet with cooking spray and put the lasagna noodles on top. I also sprayed between each layer of noodles to keep them from sticking to each other.

The chicken and artichoke mixture.

The ricotta and spinach mixture.

Homemade sauce. Now, it's time to start assembling.

I lightly buttered the baking dish and spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom.

Lasagna noodles.

Ricotta and Spinach mixture.

Chicken and artichokes mixture and more sauce.

More noodles.

Ricotta and Spinach again.

Chicken and Artichokes.

More Sauce.

Noodles one more time.

The rest of the sauce.

The rest of the chicken and Artichoke mixture.

Sprinkle some cheese on top and it's ready for the oven.

Baked, bubbly hot and toasty on top. Don't forget to let it set about 10 minutes before serving.

The Results...
Was the extra time spent in the kitchen worth it?  Yes, it was!  Everyone liked this different version of lasagna.  I heard 3 1/2 to 4 stars (out of 5) for this recipe.  My husband really liked this lasagna.  He gave it 4 stars and had 4 servings!  The kids gave this recipe 3 1/2 stars.  They thought it was good, but they prefer traditional lasagna with tomato sauce.   

We love creamy spinach and artichoke dip and this lasagna had similar flavors in it along with tender pieces of chicken and homemade alfredo sauce.  Chicken Spinach Artichoke Lasagna is worth the extra effort!

Fresh Peaches and Cream Cookies

I hope you are enjoying summer!  Summer is always too short for me.  Around this time I find myself hoping summer wasn't coming to an end so soon.  The kiddos and I have been thinking of what fun things we can still fit in during these last few weeks until school starts.  Here are a few things on our "to-do list": another zoo trip, another day at the pool, more fishing and a family camping trip.

Fresh fruits and veggies are a wonderful part of summer.  Right now we have fresh peaches everywhere!  Last summer I found our favorite recipe for peach cobbler, Easy Peach Cobbler.  This year I found this recipe for Fresh Peaches and Cream Cookies.

I thought this recipe would be perfect for the Behind the Curtain Dessert Challenge this month.  Head over to The Lady Behind the Curtain to learn more about this challenge.  Basically, we are assigned two ingredients and the challenge is to make a delicious dessert with them.  This month the assignment is Peaches and Cream, yum!

Ingredients (printable recipe)
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups fresh, diced peaches (skin removed)
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Glaze:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1-2 Tbsp cream (or enough to make a drizzle consistency)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or line cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Stir together and set aside.
2. Using a sharp knife, remove the skin from peaches and cut into small chunks. Place the diced peaches on a paper towel and set aside.
3. In another large bowl, cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla. Beat until combined. Add flour mixture and beat on low speed until well incorporated. Gently fold in peaches and white chocolate chips.
4. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough in rounded spoonfuls onto the cookie sheets. Leave plenty of room between cookies to allow for some spreading. Bake about 10-12 minutes until light golden brown. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
5. Mix together the powdered sugar, cream and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle lightly over cookies while still warm. Allow to cool. Enjoy!

Notes: Stir in the peaches and white chocolate chips well. It says 'gently fold', but it is difficult to be gentle with a stiff cookie dough. Do the best you can.

Adapted from Sprinkled with Flour

Fresh, diced peaches!

Here is the cookie dough.

I didn't see how I could 'gently fold' the peaches and chips into this stiff cookie dough. I wasn't very gentle, but I did try to be careful not to break up the peaches too much.

The recipe didn't say whether to grease or line the cookie sheets. So, I put some cookies straight on the sheet to see if they would stick. They did kinda stick, so I recommend dropping the cookie dough onto a greased or parchment lined cookie sheet.

These sweet little cookies are pretty irresistible!

You can see the cake-like texture and the yummy bits of fresh peaches and white chocolate, yum!

The Results...

Fresh Peaches and Cream Cookies were cake-like in texture and had a hint of cinnamon which tasted wonderful with the fresh, diced peaches and white chocolate chips.  

I had cookies and milk waiting for my husband when he came home from work---what a lucky guy! :)  He liked these cookies and thought this was an interesting way to use peaches.  Peaches and Cream Cookies are slightly different from the usual cookies we make. We prefer a more dense, chewy cookie, but we still liked these cake-like peach cookies.  Cookies never last long around here and these cute, little, peach cookies soon disappeared!   

 

I share recipes at these linky parties.

I'm looking forward to checking out all the Peaches and Cream Desserts from this challenge! You can find them at the end of this post.

Red Beans and Rice (slow cooker)

 

All the recipes on this blog to this point have been new recipes that we have tried for the first time and shared our results.  My husband recently suggested that I also add some "tried and true" recipes or favorite recipes that my family requests often.  I liked this idea and I have created a tried and true label in the sidebar to make it easy to find them.  

My Biscuits are Burning has been a wonderful way to share, keep and organize recipes.  We will continue to try new recipes, but now I'm looking forward to also sharing the recipes that we really love and have made many times over the years.  My son requested Red Beans and Rice for dinner this week and I thought this would be a great recipe to start with.

Red Beans and Rice is a traditional southern dish.  When I was a little, my family lived in Mississippi and that's where I was first introduced to Red Beans and Rice.  You could buy red beans already seasoned and ready to use in a can.  My mom would add sausage and serve it over rice.  When we moved away from Mississippi, we couldn't find the seasoned red beans anymore.  So, my mom found this recipe and it became one of our favorite dinners.  My brothers and I would make requests for these Red Beans and Rice.  After I was married this became one of my husband's favorite dinners and now our kids also request this dish. 

My copy of the recipe in my mom's handwriting

Ingredients (printable recipe)
8 strips of bacon
1 medium white onion, minced
3 celery stalks plus leaves, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
2 Tablespoons chili powder OR chili seasoning mix
2 Tablespoons brown sugar OR 2 teaspoons molasses
3/4 tsp. pepper
1 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce
2 (15.5 oz.) cans red beans or kidney beans and liquid
2 lbs. of sausage cut into 1 inch pieces (I used two 14 oz. packages of smoked sausage)
Cooked rice, about 6 cups
Hot sauce, if desired
Directions
1. Cook bacon in a large frying pan, drain on paper towels and set aside. Crumble when cooled.
2. Saute onion, celery (without leaves) and garlic in bacon fat until soft.
3. Stir in celery leaves, crumbled bacon and all other ingredients.
4. Pour into slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours.
5. Serve over rice. Add a dash or two or a few of hot sauce if you like. Enjoy! 
Serves 4-6

Getting the veggies ready

The bacon smelled so good that everyone came into the kitchen to see what I was up to. :)

Getting the onion and celery nice and soft while it sautes in the bacon grease.

I can usually find red beans (not seasoned). Kidney beans work just as well, especially if you already have some in your pantry.

I put everything except the sausage in the pan and stirred it up (the pan was getting full). Then, I added it to the slow cooker with the sausage.

Use whatever sausage you like. We usually use smoked sausage that is easy to find at the grocery store. You could use andouille sausage to be more authentic, but it tends to be too spicy for our kiddos.

Lookin' yummy. Now we just have to wait 4-5 hours. Don't forget to get your rice ready, too!

The Results...
Once the bacon is cooked and crumbled and the veggies are soft, you basically just add everything to the slow cooker and forget about it for 4-5 hrs.  This is a great dish for potlucks and parties.  Make it for football parties in the fall or anytime you want an easy, slow cooker meal that is hearty and delicious!
