Beer and Cheese Biscuits

Lately, I've been so lazy when it comes to cooking, baking and blogging. I've gotten complaints from my brother about not being in the kitchen whipping up my "new creations", so the other day I decided to make biscuits! These are made with dark stout beer and cheddar cheese a great combination. These biscuits would  be perfect as a side dish for a game day meal. I ate mine with chicken wings it was amazing!!

Beer and Cheese Biscuits
Makes 2 dozen

4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup scallions,chopped
3/4 cup cheddar cheese,grated
7 tbsp unsalted butter,melted
1(12oz.) bottle dark beer (I used Guinness)
1 tbsp milk
1/4 tsp paprika

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add scallions and cheddar cheese; mix well. Fold in butter and beer, mix until just combined.
Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface; pat down to 1in disk. Use a 3in round cutter to cut biscuits. Gather scraps, pat down and cut remaining biscuits. Place biscuits on ungreased baking sheet.
Brush biscuits with milk; sprinkle with paprika. Bake for 25 mins until golden. Serve warm.
ENJOY!!

Apple Brownies

An apple a day keeps the doctor away, right? That's what I kept telling myself while baking these. In my attempt to lead a healthier lifestyle in 2013 I'm trying my hardest to find "healthier" alternatives to my favorite foods.
So for my first "healthy" dessert I present Apple Brownies. In my opinion these brownies resemble an apple pie/cake . It looks and smells like apple pie, and that's mainly because of the cinnamon. Honestly these brownies are so decadent and flavorful and they don't require much ingredients.
