FAMILY-SIZE RECIPE:
(Makes 9 biscuits)
2 1/4 cups Original Bisquick mix

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Stir ingredients together until soft dough forms. Place on surface generously sprinkled with Bisquick mix.

Place on ungreased cookie sheet.

Is it time for breakfast yet?

How to Boil an Egg

All these years, I've boiled eggs the same way.  But, I've just learned a money saving way to get the same results.  Cover eggs with an inch of water.  Toss in some salt, and get to a boil. Once the water is boiling, cover, and shut the stove off. Set the timer for 10 minutes. Run eggs under cold water to cool.

Heat broiler. Uncover frittata. Broil, 6 inches from heat, 2 to 3 min. or until golden brown.
 
Or, if you don't have an oven proof pan, like me, you can stir together all the ingredients and bake at 400 degrees for 25- 30 minutes. I also ate mine with salsa. Very good.

Steak and Bleu Cheese Salad

Lunch crept up on me again, and so I tossed this together real fast.


Here we go, a 4 ingredient salad:
Steak sliced, cooked medium
Bleu Cheese crumbles
Boston lettuce leaves
Ranch dressing

I got everything from Costco except the Ranch dressing. 

You can get the steak already medium rare in a package. Throw it on the skillet for a minute, and viola!

I really wish I had the patience to add some corn to this salad, but alas, I was way too hungry!
Leave me a comment, and tell me what you would have added!

Baby Leggings in 5 Minutes or less

 
Sewright -Blog by Ruth Yoder
 These are the cutest leggings! And soo easy to make.

 All you need is:
1 pair of socks. I used Knee socks, so my 6 month old little girl will be able to wear these into next year.
Sewing machine.
Thread. (Thought is should mention it.)
Pins.  

 Cut off the toe and the heel sections on both pairs.
 I cut through both at the same time. No time to waste!

 Toss the toe and heel sections, but keep the middle portion and top.

 Fold wrong sides in so you have a cuff.
 Lay with both raw edges facing the same direction.
 Now put your cuff around the long portion of the sock so that all raw edges are facing out as in the picture.
 Pin...not so hard, right?
 Now slip the sock around your machine arm. I took off the extra table surface on my machine. This will stretch the sock while you sew.  Sew around a half inch, pulling while you go around. This is so your threads will not break when you stretch it to put it on.

 I pinked my edges, but you don't really need to, as these socks do not usually unravel.
And here you are. Finished. Now go see how cute they look on your little one.
