Can things get any better?? Last week’s New York Times Wednesday food section highlighted our biscuits as on of the top 15 “Thrifty Indulgences”to give this holiday season. What an endorsement!
Needless to say our holiday business is hectic but this just took things to a whole new level of crazy.
After a non-stop week of juggling biscuit shipping and Christmas shopping with my girls, I needed a laid back Saturday. Friends joined us for a little football watching and I whipped up a couple of appetizers. Enjoy!
Beer Bloody’s with Zing
- Zing Zang Bloody Mary mix is one of my secrets… I make them “to order” with 1.5 ounces of vodka a splash of olive juice, splash of soda water, and my secret – a heavy splash of beer! mix/shake and serve over ice with celery, lemon, olives, and a lime…
- Savory Roasted Pecans
- Melted butter about a half of a stick in a bowl.
- Add halved pecans (1 bag)
- Add the following spices:
- Kosher salt, cracked black pepper, cumin, crushed red pepper, paprika, chili powder
- Mix well together and place on baking sheet.
- Place in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes…Serve with bloodys
Homemade French Onion Dip
- No more packets of that MSG laden mix… make your own quickly and make your house smell divine!
- Saute one large chopped onion (yellow or white) in a couple pads of butter with a splash of olive oil. salt and pepper.
- After sauteing for about minutes add 2-3 cloves of garlic and saute as well…
- Slowly cook for at least 15 minutes until pan needs de glazing. next add a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce to deglaze—mix well…
- Let cool… In a bowl, mix one container of sour cream with 1.2 cup of mayonnaise—add cool onion/garlic mixture and put in fridge for a couple of hours to meld the flavors together.
- Serve with chopped greens onions on top and potato chips, carrots, celery, and pretzels!

you don’t state what size container of sour cream. 8 or 16 oz?
Sounds pretty easy, yummy and special treat for guests or football watching, (or for those trying to go up to a larger clothes size) :-)

8 oz container of sour cream and then of course if you want to double it just double the other ingredients as well!

So… your Zing Zang Bloody Marys have no tomato juice?
On Mar 01 2009 - carrie Said:
Susan,
YES the Zing Zang mix is a spicy flavorful tomato juice! If you can’t find it in the grocery-go to zingzang.com… it’s worth ordering or asking your grocery manager to stock it….

So happy to see your biscuits mentioned in O – Ophra Magazine, August Issue. Just in time. I need to send a hostess gift ASAP> Any suggestions. I’m from the South, but sending these to my son and his wife who is from the California area. He loves biscuits and hopefully she will also. My grandchildren love mine, so I know they will love your decadent snack. Hurr
