7 Up Biscuits

I love recipes like this!  Just Bisquick, sour cream, 7-up and butter!

Yummy!  These are excellent! So easy and so good!  My son said these were the best with any kind of jelly!  We are making these next weekend when our family gets together.  This is half a recipe above. 

7 Up Biscuits

4 cups Bisquick

1 cup sour cream

1 cup 7 Up

1/2 cup melted butter

Mix Bisquick, sour cream and 7 up.  Dough will be very soft.  (Don't worry!)  Knead and fold dough until coated with your baking mix. Pat dough out and cut biscuits using a round biscuit/ cookie cutter.  Melt butter in bottom of cookie sheet pan or 9 x 13 casserole dish.  Place biscuits on top of melted butter and bake for 12 - 15 minutes or until brown at 425 degrees.

Thank you to the person who put this recipe on Facebook last week.  I don't think there is anything healthy about this recipe so I'll just make it once a year from now on! LOL!  Hope you enjoy it and have a great week!

Love,

Irises 2013

Hello!  Thank you for visiting us today!  We are taking a walk in the backyard to look at the beautiful irises blooming.  DH and I planted this iris bed about six years ago and DH has taken care of it.  We love to see what is blooming each morning and each evening.  Walk with us and enjoy the music, a different take on Love is Blue.

 

 

Have a great week!

Snapshot of Happiness

You would think that a light bulb moment would happen in church, or in the middle of a beautiful garden, or walking on the beach during a gorgeous sunset!  Not to me.  It happened in the waiting room of my chiropractor while reading Good Housekeeping magazine.  The article stated that the key to happiness was in how much gratitude we felt.  So I started thinking on the drive home about how thankful I was for my quirky extended family! Here is a snapshot of a day in the summer of 1965.  That is ten year old silly me right in the center.

Life can change in an instant.  We can't make time stand still nor would we want to.  I am amazed at how many family members in this photo are no longer with us.  I can almost hear the laughter and the silliness that went on before this photo!  ( And the fun during the watermelon spitting contest between the girls and the boys) Be thankful every minute of the day for "your" quirky family, no matter how quirky!

Celebrate your life.  If you are having a particularly great day, grab a camera and take a picture.  I guess we as bloggers do that anyway.  I think of all the pictures I took of my children cleaned up and in their best clothes.  I thought I was doing what I was supposed to be doing, but now I wish I had pictures of my two little sons digging holes in the backyard.  They were so dirty it was hard to recognize them!  Oh, how I wish I had taken a picture that day!

Well, at least I have a picture of  the participants in the watermelon spitting contest of 1965!  I am so thankful I have this picture.  Thank you for stopping by today!  Do you take snapshots of happiness?

Love,
Lottie
