Cheese and Sausage Biscuit Recipe (1)

One of my close blogging friends Mary Younkin came out with a new book! If you don’t have her first book, The Weeknight Dinner Cookbook, full of quick and easy dinner recipes you need to get a copy. Sweet Chipotle Chicken Bites are a recipe from that book – ready in 15 minutes!

Her new book is The Weekday Lunches & Breakfast Cookbook. It is full of all sorts of breakfast and easy lunch recipes, that work for dinners too. Plus a couple great desserts thrown in. To say that I love this book is a little bit of an understatement. I have already made 4-5 of the recipes from this book and they were all amazing. And this easy biscuit recipe is definitely one of my favorites.

I let my son go through the cookbook to mark recipes that he wants to try and I think he marked almost every other page. Cheesy Green Chile Chicken, Spicy Cajun Cheesesteak Sandwiches, Cheesy Enchilada Pasta and Crispy Green Chile Pork Skillet are just a few of the ones he wants me to make.

I made the Spinach Couscous Salad when we had friends over a couple weeks ago, and everyone asked for the recipe. And the Perfect Every-Time Brownies might be my new favorite. I told you that I loved this book.
