Gourmet Scrapping for you!

Hey all!  Thanks for all of the super tips on where the most likely place for my ipod to be...checked and re-checked them all and nothin'.  :-(  I really thought Jingle was on to something with the toy kitchen idea.  Katie loves to put stuff in the microwave...I was SURE I would find it there.  Found her favorite stuffed puppy there once, but nope, nada.  Guess I'll keep looking.  :-) 

I've got a fun little give away as promised!!  The folks at Paper Crafts have put together a wonderful new book called Paper Crafts Gourmet and I have one to give away!  All you have to do is leave a comment on this post before midnight on Halloween (the 31st) and I'll randomly choose a winner and post it on Nov 1. 

It's been in the works for quite a while and I'm so excited to finally see it!  Lots of recipes and even more fun ways to present them!  Packaging, party ideas, tags and lots more.  I've even got a project and recipe to share with you that was created by Paper Craft Pro Alisa Bangerter....just a fun "taste" of what this new book is all about...

Cheesy Garlic Drop Biscuits
 

by Alisa Bangerter

This is a perfect recipe to pull out if you are short on time because there is no rolling or cutting. The cheese and garlic add extra kick to a plain biscuit, and kids love them. They are the perfect accompaniment to serve with soups or stews, and are great served with a salad.

INGREDIENTS

2 c. flour

2 tbsp. granulated sugar

4 tsp. baking powder

1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 tsp. salt

2/3 c. butter or margarine

1 1/2 c. grated cheddar cheese

1 1/4 c. milk

Chives (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Mix together dry ingredients. Cut in butter with pastry cutter until mixture is fine. Add cheese and mix well. Add milk and stir until just moistened. Drop by spoonfuls onto greased baking sheet. Sprinkle top with chopped dried or fresh chives if desired. Bake at 400 degrees for approx. 15 minutes.

And the adorable project Alisa created to go along with them:
