Friends, family, strangers - welcome to my blog! My name is Trina, and I cook and bake as a hobby. I'd like to keep track of my recipes, as well as share them with my friends and family.

Cooking and baking your own food is so much healthier than buying pre-made meals at the store, and even restaurants can be a bit shifty sometimes. When you cook your own food, you know exactly what is going into your meal, and you can make it as healthy, fat-free, and flavourful as you want. Or as fatty and hearty as you want. Admittedly, most of my recipes (so far) are on the fatty, hearty, chock-full-of-meat side, but I assure you there's some of my famous vegan baking (indiscernable from baking with dairy and eggs) recipes in here!

Easy Biscuits

I love biscuits, particularly fresh from the oven at breakfast. This is a simple recipe, and can be used to accompany any meal, including chili, sausage gravy, or strawberry jam or compote.

2 c. flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1 Tbsp. sugar
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 c. cold butter (or margarine)
1 c. milk

Preheat oven to 450 F. Combine all of the dry ingredients, and cut the butter into the dry. Another way to do this, is to freeze the butter and grate it into the dry with a cheese grater. Do not overwork this step. Then, stir in the milk until everything is just combined. Flour a flat surface, and knead 8 to 10 times only. Roll the dough out to 3/4 inch thickness. Cut with cookie cutters, or into squares with a knife. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet (or plop squares into a muffin tin - this method works great). Bake for 10 - 12 minutes, or until very puffy and just golden on top. Serve hot and fresh!
