A new discovery... YUM!

One of Owen and my favorite things to eat when we go to Red Lobster is there amazing garlic cheese biscuits. Although they are probably REALLY fattening, I thought I would try to make some... They were a success and I think I found trouble! OOPS!

Garlic cheese biscuits

Here are two different recipes that I have tried....

Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until lightly browned. While biscuits are baking mix melted butter and minced garlic. Brush over hot baked biscuits.
