Cheesy Garlic Biscuit Swirls

Good Monday to all.  Hope that your week goes great.  Thank you for taking the time out of your busy lives to read my blog.  I hope that you find the information here useful.

On Wednesday, I will be posting the recipe that I made for March’s Crazy Cooking Challenge.  This month’s assignment is for spaghetti.  Today I am going to share a recipe that I often serve with Italian type dishes.

This is similar to the crescent post from last week but uses the large, canned biscuits such as Pillsbury Grands.  I still am not sure that I can even call either a recipe.  I usually buy the store brand of these unless the Grands are on sale.  For best flavor use refrigerated Parmesan or Romano cheese.  Those cheeses are much better than the shelf-stable kind.

These are very hearty, and one or two per person is usually plenty.  Since there are eight biscuits in a can, this recipe will make 4 servings.  The photos will show that I used the flakey type biscuit because I  that is what I had on hand.  Any type large biscuit can be used.

Cheese Garlic Biscuit Swirls
1/4 c. butter, melted
1/2 t. garlic powder
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 can large refrigerated biscuits such as Pillsbury Grands
1/4 c. grated Parmesan or Romano, the refrigerated kind

Combine melted butter, garlic powder and garlic.  Open can of biscuits.  Pat and stretch out one biscuit until it is about 4-5 inches in diameter.  Lay biscuit on a greased jelly-roll pan.  Brush biscuit with the melted butter.  Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon cheese on top of the butter.  Roll biscuit up jelly-roll style.  Move biscuit out of the way and repeat the process with remaining biscuits.  Brush the rolled up biscuits with more of the melted butter.  Bake at  350 degrees 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown.  Brush again with any melted butter that is left.

Friday Finds

Life or something like it has been going on so I have been MIA from Friday Favorite Finds for a couple of weeks.  I did not have a lot of time to surf the internet this week either, but I did link up a couple of soup recipes to SoupaPalooza II over at Dine and Dish and Tidy Mom.  While I was there I checked out some of the links that caught my eye, so this week's Friday Finds is all about soup.

Steak Soup

Eat2Gather

I still have a round steak or two in the freezer that I purchased before meat prices went crazy.  I think that I will use one of them to make this.  It looks like a nice departure from ground beef based soup.

Cornbread and Chili in a Jar

Whipperberry

I love chili and cornbread together and thought that this was a very fun way to serve it.  I have not seen these little wide-mouth jars, but she give a link to good ole Amazon to purchase them.  Both recipes are included, but one could use their own favorites.

Chicken and Dumpling Soup

Brown Acres

This is a favorite combination of mine.  I am anxious to try this version which has sort of rolled dumplings.

Paprikash

Relishing It

I have heard of this but never made it.  I will now.  This picture makes me want to jump right into the bowl.

Broccoli, Bacon & Cheese Soup

Mom on Timeout

Broccoli and Cheese Soup is a favorite of mine, and I will eat almost anything if it has bacon in it. Maybe that addition would get this past hubby.  If not, I will just have to make it for myself.

Creamy Tomato Soup

Mrs. Yellow Hat

Made with canned, stewed tomatoes and chicken broth, this is one that could be whipped up in a hurry if the ingredients were on hand.  Seems like a good recipe to know about.

Bean and Bacon Soup

Happier than a Pig in Mud

This is from one of my favorite blogs.  Another quick-to-make soup if one has the ingredients on hand; and, of course, there is that bacon again.

Chicken and Rice Soup

Chasing Delicious

This recipe cooks the rice right in the soup which saves a step, I think.  The blogger wrote this post about making soup when she was sick.  It is a good read.

Homemade Soup Jar Mix

Moving Mommy

This would be a great inexpensive gift idea and gets away from the sweets people usually get.  This and the rest of the ingredients could be taken to a new mother or someone recovering from being in the hospital and would be most welcome I am sure.

Well, that is 10 recipes so I am going to stop here, but with 220 recipes in SoupaPalooza I and 238, and counting, recipes in SoupaPalooza II, I don't think that I will have to go far to find a new soup recipe to try.

SoupaPalooza II is open until March 5 so if you have a great soup recipe to share, you can find the details here.

As always the photos were taken by and are the property of the owners of the respective blogs represented.

I am linking to Friday Favorite Finds at Finding Joy in My Kitchen and am looking forward to seeing what other bloggers have found this week, too.

February Package Pal Reveal

I have mentioned that although this blog is about food,  I do have other interests and visit craft, home dec, sewing and quilting blogs.

Earlier, I was reading the blog C.R.A.F.T. and found she was hosting an exchange for February.  I decided to join in and was accepted.

My exchange partner was Lauren at Concrete Jungle Crafts.  One of my granddaughters is named Lauren, so that was a nice coincidence.  She lives and crafts in New Jersey.

I read Lauren’s blog and found that she like birds.  I had some fabric called Bird Song that I thought would be perfect for her.  This is what I sent:

Mug Rugs/Coasters

Tea Towels

Hot Pads/Pot Holders

Eco Tote for Grocery Shopping

Lauren does paper crafts and has an esty shop.  This is what she sent me:

I am going to hang this in my sewing studio.  It will make me smile when I see it. 

This was a fun exchange.  I hope that I am one of the 100 people that get to do it again when sign ups come around again in March.
