Road Trip

We stopped at a great place called Crush on our way to California.
We had Panini Sandwiches.
Mine was called The Hippy Sandwich, how appropriate for me to blog about it.

It was a grilled Panini Bread

 Hummus, Fresh Spinach Leaves, Avocado, Roasted Red Peppers and Caramelized Onions.

Not necessarily a recipe, but great food. It came with homemade chips that were thick and crunchy.

Looking forward to some great Hippy food in California too....
More to come!

Enjoy!

Cheddar Biscuits............really easy!

I love Cheddar Biscuits slathered with butter!

Here's an easy recipe.

1 C flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp cream of tartar

1/4 tsp granulated sugar

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 stick of butter, cubed (1/4C)

1 C shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/3 C milk

Preheat oven to 450 degrees

In a bowl:
flour
baking powder
tartar
sugar
salt
Whisk well

Cut in butter until it resembles coarse crumbs ( use a pastry blender)
Fold in cheese
Stir in milk to form a dough

Knead the dough well on a floured board until smooth.
With your hands, pat and press  the dough into a 6 inch square
Cut the 6" square into 9 squares
Place on a baking sheet, ( sprayed with a vegetable cooking spray)

Bake for 10 - 12 minutes
The biscuits should be golden brown

Serve with plenty of butter!

Enjoy!
