Savory Treats

So, baking is where my heart is but I love to cook all kinds of things. This page is where I share other delicious things that don't involve baking. Enjoy!!!


Chipotle Lime Chicken Salad
I made this with all the "extra" ingredients I had from making my Chicken Tortilla Soup. I used grilled chicken breast because that's what I had on hand but it'll be delicious with any kind of chicken (even a rotisserie chicken from the market). It made a great sandwich!

Southern Buttermilk Biscuits

I grew up in the South and have always maintained a warm, special place in my heart (and my belly) for delicious biscuits.  My mother made them often and shared her gift for making this delectable comfort food with both my brother and me.  Here's my twist on the biscuits I remember from my childhood. Deliciously Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits Ingredients 2     cups all-purpose flour 1     tablespoon baking powder 1/2  teaspoon salt 1/4  teaspoon baking soda 1/2  cup shortening 3/4  cup  buttermilk Directions Preheat oven to 450 degrees.   In a bowl stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.  Cut in shortening till mixture resembles coarse crumbs.  Make a well in the center; add buttermilk all at once.  Stir gently with a fork until dough just clings together. On a lightly floured board, press out the dough into a flat disk.  Fold over and repeat 6-7 times to create the layers.  Past or roll gently to a 1/2-3/4 inch thickness.  Cut with a biscuit cutter
