Valentine's Day BBQ :) -OR- Jim n Nicks Cheesy biscuits recipe!!!

This Valentines day was special, we celebrated our anniversary of being together officially as a couple since our first date-Valentines Day 2008. We spent the whole weekend doing fun things and enjoying the time together...We finally found a couch that we loved and could afford, and so we purchased it...The picture makes it look a little darker than it actually is...It is so comfy :)


And then my husband had a few errands to run after work on Valentine's Day, so I had time to kill... and decided to surprise him with Jim n Nick's style food...because we love it there! 
(Once again I apologize for the picture-taken by phone)

I took a whole Chicken pulled the skin off, and cleaned it out. Seasoned it, and rubbed it down with some oil for baking. I made a basic sweet BBQ style sauce, and brushed it on the chicken every so often during cooking. I baked 2 potatoes. Still had time to spare.... so I decided to make those amazing cheesy biscuits/muffins AND the sweet butter that goes with it. They are so easy- took like 10 minutes!
Why we pay 30 dollars+ to eat out at a meal that can be made within the same time frame and a third of the price, I have no idea...lol...
I found the recipe off of this blog: http://gastronomyblog.com/2009/04/19/jim-n-nicks-cheese-biscuits/
They are so amazing! oh my goodness!  
All they Call for is:

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg, beaten well
  • 4 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
*Pre-Heat oven to 400 degrees. Mix the dry ingredients separate from the wet. Then combine them and last but definitely not least, add the cheese! :) Butter your muffin tins and place them evenly in the 12 muffin cups. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the top is slightly golden. You don't want it to be dark because they will become chewy. EASY RIGHT!?!

And for the delicious honey butter if you have no honey:
Mix softened butter with sugar and vanilla and taste it  :) sorry I didn't measure when I made it...you want it to be a soft sweet buttery spread :)...just mix it till you like it! 

Yes you are welcome!
