Welcome to the blog! Today I will be sharing a super easy and affordable recipe that will save you time and money and is absolutely delicious. I'm not really big on cooking dinner from scratch.  In fact I didn't learn how to cook until after I got married. I was the takeout queen when I was single. Over the years I have learned how to cook however, I still prefer easy recipes that don't take a long time to make.   So if you love super easy dinner ideas and recipes I'm definitely your girl.  With grocery prices up we have all learned how to improvise on ingredients for our favorite recipes and I'm no different. That means I have opted for canned chicken instead of fresh chicken from the meat case in order to save money.

Today I will be sharing my favorite homemade biscuit recipe with all of you. I bake a pan of biscuits every morning for my husband and my daddy. They will eat homemade biscuits with every meal. Making biscuits from scratch is a lot cheaper than buying canned or frozen biscuits and taste a whole lot better. With a few simple ingredients that you probably have on hand about 25 minutes total, you can enjoy freshly baked biscuits every day. Don't worry about not having a rolling pin or a biscuit cutter. I do not own either one of these either. I use a hard plastic drinking glass as both rolling pin and as a biscuit cutter. Simply flour the drinking glass and roll out the dough to ¼ inch and use the top of the drinking glass to cut out the biscuits. Recipe 4 Cups of Self- Rising Flour 1 ¾ Cups of Milk ¼ teaspoon of salt 1 Tablespoon of granulated sugar 1 Stick of butter 2 Tablespoons of butter melted ( set aside. You will use this later to...
