7-Up Biscuits

Oh wow, blogger family, let me tell you about this wonderful recipe that I found on Pinterest! It came from this cool site called Plain Chicken and was simply titled, 7-Up Biscuits. When I first saw the recipe, I remember thinking, soda? in a biscuit???
Hmm, I don't know about that. Then, I read the reviews and it got really good responses and I thought, well, I've never made biscuits before, let me give it a try.

Hmm, heavenly, light, flaky, and buttery biscuits were the results...
The recipe is so ridiculously easy, I'm almost ashamed to post it on here, but you know I will! LOL!
It only calls for 4 ingredients, and I promise you will be pleasantly surprised.
Hubby told me I was working on my grandma status with that one. Try it and let me know what you think, I promise you're gonna love them!

1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup 7-Up soda
1/4 cup butter - melted

5.  Melt butter in 9 inch square pan (I used a small round cake pan).  

6.  Place cut biscuits in pan and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

7.  Serve and enjoy! These also taste really good warmed up the next day!

He often indulges me when I find a new recipe and tonight was no exception. I found this one on Pillsbury.com and it was originally titled Bacon & Cheddar Pinwheels which we have made before and they turned out great.

This time I decided to switch it up a bit and make it with the Jimmy Dean "All Natural" sausage. Hubby said that they turned out great. We scrambled up a couple of eggs, added a side of grapes, and a glass of orange juice and breakfast (for dinner) was served.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Heat oil in skillet and saute onions and garlic until tender.
3. Add sausage and cook until brown. Stir to combine and drain well.
4. Unroll dough. Separate into 2 long rectangles. Press each into 12x4-inch rectangle.
5. Firmly press perforations to seal.
6. Evenly spread cream cheese over crescent dough.
7. Add sausage, onion, and garlic mixture, then add cheddar cheese.
8. Starting with one short side, roll up each rectangle; press edge to seal.
9. Wrap in saran wrap and place in freezer for 10-20 minutes.
10. With serrated knife, cut each roll into 1/2-3/4 inch slices.
11. Place cut side down on ungreased cookie sheet
12. Bake 13-15 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet and enjoy.
