Using Hard Butter (Buttermilk Biscuits)



Today is Tuesday which means Kitchen Tip Tuesday at Tammy's Recipes. Having small kids in my home in the South, means we are always cooking filling foods. My kids favorite filling food is biscuits. When they do want them they want the quick and I need it to be easy. The girls can make them on their own.
My Tip: I use the hand cheese grater on the butter get it all in uniform shapes. This mixed great in the flour to make awesome buttermilk biscuits.

Easy and Quick Buttermilk Biscuits
1 c Self Rising Flour
1 stick salted butter (grated with cheese grater)
1/2 c Buttermilk

Mix grated butter in Flour. Add buttermilk and stir till it makes a ball. Turn on a flour surface. Kneed some and pat down till even. Cut with a floured cookie cutter/biscuits cutter/glass (whatever you have) Bake at 350 for 10 mins on a greased pan.

They love these for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack with jelly, plain or if you are DS8 with cheese grits on top of it.

Facing Fears: Water

Fear has been the biggest obstacle getting in my way for my life. My fear has stopped me from doing so many things. I will be 34 on my birthday (July 24), and have been swimming many times. But in all the times of swimming I have never Dunked my head in the water. (Sound crazy...i know). I was always too scared to do it.

Well I faced my fears the weekend (5/15/2010) while with my kids and their aunt. We went to Pine Island and "I did it"....I dunked my whole head under the water. It was not as bad as I thought. My 6 yo and 8 yo were with me and if they could do it...I could do it too.

After facing this fear, I have decided to be baptized again. God has come into my life like a strong storm and is showing me a different way to live. I have always walked with him....Now I want to talk to him get to know him and be his VERY BEST FRIEND!!

I'm Back!!!!!

I have been gone for soooooo long. We have been so busy, but I have never left the blog world. I am always reading something. The kids are getting so big. Big Boy is now 8, Miss Priss is 6, Lil' Miss Priss is 3 and Lil'Man is 18 months.

I am now not working and made a very big decision to give my life to Christ. I have always been a "church goer", but now I am a "follower and studying". I have had a very long year, by God have a plan for me and a purpose for my life and I want to live this way.

I plan to blog about my 30 minute tasks, weight watchers and home life. But I will start to talk about God and My new Support group (Celebrate Recovery).
