Breakfast Pies
The short side of this recipe is using refrigerator biscuits. I'm going to try it using whole grain biscuit mix and short cut the skillet part by using frozen sausage breakfast scramble that's been nuked first to heat it up. I think that will take less time to make and cleanup, and have a better taste. savanatbunnie: just look up Biscuit here on allrecipe. You'll get better results. Biscuits are almost exactly like scones except without sugar. There are two ways to make biscuits from scratch: by cutting in a fat (lard, shortening, butter or oil) and one that uses heavy cream instead. Personally I prefer the latter but the first is traditional for the US. Lard was originally used but now it's usually shortening (Crisco.)

Chipotle Shrimp
I like this well enough to make it again for dinner tonight. Last time I let it get a tad too thick. This time, I'm going for a looser sauce. Quick, easy and delicious! Be aware that all chipotles in adobo are not equally hot! They range from relatively mild to singe-your-hair-off. If you haven't used a particular brand before, it's a good idea to taste-test the heat before using them in a dish.

Blueberry Nut Oat Bran Muffins
I forgot to put the cinnamon in and found that you can taste the bitterness of the baking soda. I thought there seemed like too much when I was making them but the high bran content might need it? Otherwise pretty good. I'm going to try different kinds of applesauce in this. I think I'd like some of the flavored ones with a little more sweetness. I used unsweetened and thought they could be just a tiny bit sweeter to balance the heavy bran and point up the fruit. Blueberries are not very sweet so it seems to need a boost to the flavor. Honey might be a good replacement for the brown sugar to bring a tad more moisture. The heaviness of the bran seems to need a little more oven time and so the outsides get kind of dry in the time it takes to cook the middle properly. I found the 18 minute time to be accurate for two tins of 6 each.
