Comfort Food

Two days ago D. had a heat stroke and had to have nine stitches because of it. I've been really stressed for some time, due to constant hospitals and doctor visits. I am trying to think and be positive, which is a bit stressful because I am not a positive person by nature. I know that sounds weird, being positive is stressful, but for me, it is. :(

Today I was wanting some comfort food, the kind my mom and grandma used to make. I made chicken noodle soup and a new biscuit recipe that turned out to be awesome delicious.

The biscuits are made with Bisquick, sour cream, 7 UP, and butter:

2 cups Bisquick

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup 7 UP

1/4 cup butter

Mix sour cream into Bisquick mix, add 7 UP, roll out onto floured board, (I sprinkled some Bisquick onto my board) cut them into squares and place in melted butter in pan. Bake at 450 until golden on top.

You can find this recipe on the Bisquick site.

The chicken noodle soup, I used a crockpot chicken noodle recipe I got from Pinterest.

Orange Marmalade Muffins

3/4 cup all purpose flour

3/4 cup whole wheat flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup milk

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 tablespoon vanilla

1 egg

1/4 cup honey

1/2 cup marmalade or jam

1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Whisk together the flours, baking powder and salt in a medium sized bowl.

In a large bowl, combine the milk, oil, vanilla, egg and honey together, making sure to fully incorporate all the ingredients. Slowly add in the dry ingredients and slowly mix until just combined. Dump in the marmalade and walnuts (if using) and slowly fold into the batter, making sure to leave the marmalade streaky.

Pour into muffin cups and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
