Easy Cheesy Biscuits

Cheesy Scoop Biscuits
1 package 1-2-3 Gluten Free® Southern Glory Biscuit MixTM
2 cups shredded cheese (I used a Mexican cheddar/Monterey blend)
1½ cups milk (I used 2%)
4 Tbsp. melted unsalted butter
2 Tbsp. melted unsalted butter and garlic salt for sprinkling on top.

1. Preheat oven to 375. Line cookie sheet with silicone liner or parchment paper.
2. Put biscuit mix, shredded cheese, milk and 4 Tbsp. melted butter into large bowl. Mix together. Using an ice-cream scoop, scoop biscuits onto prepared sheet, placing biscuits so they are touching one another.
3. Brush biscuits with melted 2 Tbsp. butter and sprinkle with garlic salt.
4. Bake until lightly golden brown, approximately 12-15 minutes, but baking times may vary.

Go Fish

"Atlantic haddock- a mild fish that's rich in
B vitamins- has been off-limits to eco-conscious
shoppers for more than 6 years due to overfishing
and a dwindling population. Recently, it was moved
from the "avoid" list to the "good alternative"
category (if caught by trawling.)"

Did You Know?

"Green-tipped bananas may be better for you than their
brown-speckled counterparts. Underripe bananas have less
sugar and more resistant starches, which may help burn fat
and lower blood glucose."

-Prevention Magazine May 2011

Flavored Yogurt

"It's popular and convenient-but does it deserve its
health halo?
Half hearted. Potassium lowers blood pressure, but
a small banana has more than twice the amount.
Go Greek. If you switch to plain Greek yogurt, you'll
get more than double the protein.
Bone Boost. It has a hearty dose of cancer-fighting
vitamin D and bone boosting calcium.
Culture Vulture. Don't be swayed by "special" additions.
Probiotics (i.e. live cultures) are good for digestion, but
all yogurts contain plenty."

"Say yes to yogurt, as long as it's plain. Nearly 75% of
yogurt eaters opt for fruity flavors, but to get your fill
of protein, probiotics, vitamin D, and calcium- without the
additives and sugar- choose unflavored yogurt and mix in
fresh fruit."
