Sweet Tea Biscuits

My next entry for “Sweet Tea Week” is none other than a tribute to this sites namesake. Well part of it.

It’s no secret that I love biscuits. Hence, one of my previous blogpost about, you guessed it! Buttermilk Biscuits. Here is a link to it in case you missed it before: http://babiesandbiscuits.com/buttermilk-quick-biscuits#more-564 . I have already proclaimed this at the top of my lungs and will continue to FOR – E- VER! (Remember that part in the movie, “The Sandlot”? Where Squints tells the story and he says,”FOR-E-VER”!) ????? That is the kind of forever I mean.

Anyway, moving on…..

I wanted to do a biscuit, but REALLY wanted to incorporate Sweet Tea somehow. I decided to use Paula Deen’s Buttermilk Yeast Biscuits as a base and then I tweaked it.

SO! This is what I did:

I must say, they turned out pretty nice.

First, I boiled 1 cup water and then added 3 Family Size tea bags. › Continue reading

Sweet Tea

You know I had to do it.

The only appropriate thing to do when you do a week about sweet tea, is actually START with Sweet Tea!

I have tried a bunch of different versions. Be it restaurants. Be it grandma’s. Be it mom’s. You get the picture.

One thing I have figured out, is that I don’t really like my sweet tea………. well TOO sweet.

I mean, let’s be honest. Sometimes, you come across some that are so sweet, it is literally like drinking a glass of syrup. › Continue reading

What’s on your Playlist?

(Thanks to Apple for the picture)

This week I have been trying to get back into my “workout routine”.

Ever since we moved, it has been out of wack. Like wiggidy wiggidy wack! (Sorry, I had to)

I happen to be lucky enough to have a treadmill in my house. I am also lucky enough that it hasn’t kicked the bucket on me since it is over 10 years old.

Oh no, “Ole Betsy” hasn’t kicked the bucket yet, but the day she does will be a bad day. We have had a love/hate relationship over the years, but for the most part, it has been more of a loving one.

This is “Ole Betsy!”

AND, just in case you were wondering, she is a :

She can even double as a clothes rack from time to time, so I would definitely recommend the brand.

SO!

Getting back into the groove of things made me start to take a look at my Playlist for my workout. Don’t know if this is the fact that I’m a girl, but I have songs on there that wouldn’t strike someone as the “workout” type of Playlist. The wierd thing is that I actually can workout to these. Now, some of them are definitely high packed energy songs. BUT most are not!

I thought I would share them with you, so here they go. It is such a mix of genres, it is ridiculous!

I’ll even attach the youtube versions, so you dont get bored. So sit back, hang out a while and listen to some music. (P.S. : If some have odd videos, do not hold me accountable)

1). Set Fire to the Third Bar – Snow Patrol featuring Martha Wainwright

2). Paperweight – Schuyler Fisk and Josh Radin (*You have “Dear John” to thank for these)

3).We are Young – Fun featuring Janelle Monáe

4). Yellow – Coldplay

5). Every Teardrop is a Waterfall – Coldplay

6). Paradise – Coldplay

7). Springsteen – Eric Church (Fast forward through the girl talking if you want.)

8). Barefoot Blue Jean Night – Jake Owen

9). Viva La Vida – Coldplay

10). Down (featuring Little Wayne) – Jay Sean

11). Free – Zac Brown Band

12). Pictures of You – The Cure

13). Enchanted – Taylor Swift

14). The Man Who Can’t be Moved – The Script

15). Chasing Pavements – Adele

16). The Way I am – Ingrid Michaelson

So tell me! What’s on your Playlist?

T.G.I.F. EVERYBODY!!!

LOVE,

E

NEVER FORGET!

“I remember what I was doing the day the Twin Towers fell” is usually how the conversation starts this day every year.

However, not for me. Not today.

Rather, mine would go something like, ” I remember where I was when I was so moved, that I stopped my car on the side of the road at an overpass and started to take pictures.”
