weekend wrap up...

 Happy Monday!!!

I swear I really do have some things to post that I've been cooking but it's been a little crazy around these parts so I'm just going to give you a quick weekend wrap up and make promises of good things to come!

First up:
I'm finally getting the area behind my stove tiled.  I am loving it but I'm also ready to be done with it.
I'm not very patient when it comes to home improvements! I have overwhelming desires to get my spaces back in order and tidy again. It's an illness I know!

This is the kitchen ready to get a face lift.

(and no...the walls weren't blank, I just took the picture after everything was pulled out)

This is the end of day 2- grouting complete.

We are now in the process of cutting the tiny tiles that will go down the sides where the wall meets the stone walls.

Second item:

Saturday morning I rose bright and early to pick up my Bountiful Basket.

I ended up arriving a bit early and got roped into doing some volunteer work.

Well worth it...this weeks basket was awesome!!!

All this for $15!!!!!!

Third:

I had to make a cake for the hubster since the kids were home for his birthday celebration.

It was pretty and it still looks the same minus about 2 small pieces

I was disappointed in the flavor given that I got the recipe off Pinterest and all.

Third:

My wonderful husband wanted to roast hotdogs and have chili for his birthday celebration.

We moved the table to the patio because hubster and BIL were working on putting some mortar in the spaces between the stones on the patio.

This my peeps is my firepit area finally completed!!

yep, the firepit is going and those new Adirondack Tete-e-Tete's got built and are ready for the fun

Fun we had!!!   We roasted hot dogs over the fire and then we had s'mores and we confirmed my dear son is a pyromaniac and I think my husband is too!!  I think my future son-in-law might have a touch of pyromania too!!    It was a really great evening and we all went inside stuffed of s'mores and smelling of fire!   I thought we should have thrown the tent in the yard and stayed out there myself!!

These are Mayonnaise  Rolls.

They are good.

If you want to make them,  go here.  

Easy and yummy!!!

I promise some good things later this week!

Peace, Love & Yummies!!

                                                       

Popeye knockoff biscuits

Hey there ho there!!!
What up my peeps!!!

Today we are going to make the easiest biscuits in the world! Yep ....super deee duper easy peasy!
The Hubster totally loves the pop of eye's food and especially those oh so buttery biscuits so when I saw this recipe I just had to try this one out.

Let's bake some biscuits!!!    For some reason I have no photos until after the biscuits were done. Go figure???  Here's what you need

2 cups Bisquick

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup 7-up

1/4 cup melted butter

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

Cut your sour cream into the Bisquick.  Use a pastry cutter or two forks or whathaveyou.

Hey use your fingers if you want, I won't tell!

Now add the 7 up to the mix.  This makes a nice soft ooey gooey dough.

It's time to get messy!!!   

Sprinkle additional bisquick out on a board or your counter (hey, that's what I did) and roll that dough out and cut into biscuit shapes.  Make sure you gots plenty of the baking mix on your hands too cause it's some sticky stuff.

Melt 1/4 cup butter in a 9 inch square pan or an iron skillet or any ole' pan you feel like.

(Boy...these directions are just soooo specific today aren't they?!!)

Place cut biscuits in pan and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.  If you want the full popeye experience.... just slather some butter all over the tops of those hot biscuits.

yeah I know... I had my doubts upon first glance out of the oven

But I slapped it on a plate with some butter

and you know what?  They DO taste like the ole' Popeye's!

Then we had them with some soup and it was good, the end. 

Peace, Love & Yummies my friends!
