Homemade Biscuits

Recipes

Nothing makes me feel cozier on the inside than eating a hot, freshly homemade biscuit. It brings back memories of my mamaw serving us at her kitchen table. The biscuits were, of course, covered with sausage gravy. And there were always a few extra biscuits to have with my papaw’s raw honey as “dessert.” It was glorious!

Here is my recipe that I have developed over the past few years. Enjoy!

A Healthy Treat? Yep!

Be Healthy, Eat, Recipes, Stay Sane

I was introduced to these by my super awesome cycle teacher who is also a health coach and an all around super gal. She brought these to me after my daughter was born along with a healthy meal for my family. I was amazed that something so yummy could also be healthy.

When my husband and I decided to do Whole 30 last fall, I began making these on a regular basis. I was continually modifying the recipe until I found exactly how I wanted it. It definitely helped curb the sweet cravings.

And now I am sharing it with you!
