Kentucky Biscuits
I've made this recipe several times now, so it's about time I review it. I always follow the recipe exactly and have never been disappointed with the results. I used to use a buttermilk drop biscuit recipe because I hate rolling out the dough and cutting out biscuits, and they always end up tougher in texture than I want. Whoever invented this method of baking buttermilk biscuits is a genius. Pure and simple genius. Minimal kneading (I usually don't do it as long as the recipe states--just until it's all mixed together), pat it into a square, cut the squares and pop it in the oven. They come out tender, flaky, moist, and delicious. Plus, it is SO easy to mix them up and bake them off just before your meal is done--it takes almost no time or effort whatsoever. The best tasting biscuits I have ever had and the easiest, most ingenious recipe I've come across in quite some time. Try these! They are fabulous. So, thank you for posting this recipe!!

Roasted Cajun Potatoes
I've made a lot of different flavors of roasted oven fries, and this is probably my favorite. I've made these a few times now, and they are great--I like the sneaky late heat, sometimes I use a little more cayenne to get more heat. As others have said, these are good with ranch dressing, but you dont' really need to dip them in anything because the flavor is so good. I've used both red potatoes and yukon golds, and they turned out great either way.

Russian Mushroom and Potato Soup
This is definitely in the top 3 of soups that I've made, and I do make quite a few soups. I was so surprised by how wonderful this soup is that I had to review it. I was skeptical of the dill; I love dill, but I couldn't imagine it in a potato soup because I've never tried it before, but the dill MAKES this dish.I followed the recipe as closely as possible--I only had half a pound of sliced baby bellas (would have been even better with the full pound), and I didn't have half and half, so I used 1% milk and added a few tablespoons of light sour cream to add in more richness and some tang. This was so good, I am embarrassed to say that we (the two of us) ate 3/4 of it in one sitting!! I served it with pumpernickel bread. This is a very easy, low stress, fast meal. You can't go wrong!
