Progressive approved overtime for us this week, so I worked 2 hours after my shift ended last night, went in for 5 hours on my day off today, and will be staying an additional 2 hours tomorrow night. Makin’ that dollaaaaaa!
I’ve been craving bread products lately, so when I saw Kris’ gluten-free biscuits, I knew I had to make them.
They might look like sugar cookies, but I assure you they are lovely biscuits! I chose to leave out the savory spices so I could just have a plain biscuit instead. I used the Bob’s Red Mill all-purpose gluten-free flour and almond milk subbed for rice milk, and they turned out fantastic! I ate one with jelly and one with Marmite!
This may very well be my new go-to biscuit recipe!
I’ve also been eying Kris’ bean balls (heh, balls) lately too, so while I had a moment in the kitchen I decided to whip up a batch of those as well! I didn’t have navy beans so I actually used a can of garbanzo beans in addition to the pintos. I used 1/4 tsp cayenne, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp Mrs. Dash Southwestern Chipotle, and since I didn’t have any salsa I just drizzled in water while everything was whirring around the food processor until it reached a nice doughy consistency. Rolled into balls, popped in the oven, and devoured!
Alex liked them too, which is always a testament to an awesome recipe since he’s a bit picky! I served them up with some Normandy blend veggies heated in this sauce.
Pretty awesome sweet and spicy combo of flavors!
A huge thanks to Kris for being such a genius in the kitchen (and a doll to boot!). :)
I’m off to head out on a bike ride and then off to belated birthday celebration dinner with Alex (our schedules finally synced up, hoorah!) courtesy of a little birthday money from his folks. I hope you guys are having lovely weekends and doing much more exciting things than working overtime! (Not bitching… well, not too much anyway!) ;)

okay, now you’ve got me craving them! Especially the jelly filled ones. I love biscuits and jam. Good old southern food!
Biscuits remind me of my grandmother. I used to make them with her all the time. I LOVE baking them for my family now. Such great memories! Have fun with Alex!
Overtime is awesome — rake in that dough!
LOL at the ‘bean balls in your mouf’ tag! Oh my gosh, seriously sobbing with laughter- that totally made my day!!
Sometimes I don’t think anyone looks at those tags, so I’m glad someone not only saw it, but that it was amusing!
Heyy hard-workin’ girlll!
I wanna bean ball! Sounds interesting.

Dang worker bee.
I forgot to say thank you for the awesome awesome package!! I was so stoked when I opened it, and then I got all sick and completely forgot about life, but I am back in the game now. So THANKS!!! You rule!
Yaaaaaaay! So happy you love everything and glad you’re feeling better
you always have the most interesting sauces and marinades… YUM.
I bookmarked her bean ball recipe too, and those biscuits… oh, those biscuits… I wasn’t craving bread before but I AM NOW !
I so miss you too, girl. XXO!
I’ve never tried making gluten free bread before, but I’m interested in trying some gluten free baking these days. I’ll take one with jelly please!! Those beans balls sound awesome by the way! I made some red lentil bulgar balls not too long ago that I fell in love with so I’ll bookmark this page so I can come back here and grab the recipe when I’m ready to try yours. You think they would fry up okay? I’m mean, baking them is fine, but I’d like to fry them and really indulge myself!
Just start planning all of the things that you can do with that extra CASH!!! Those biscuits look mighty fine my dear!
Extra cash is going towards our upcoming security deposit, nothing exciting unfortunately!
Make that money girlie! Overtime is awesome, especially when you get to see the difference on your paycheck! Makes it all worthwhile!
Love the look of those balls (haha, TWSS)! Bookmarking this one…hopefully it won’t get lost in the black hole that is my bookmarked recipes!
Hope you’re having a great weekend!
Yeah, with our upcoming move happening, I need all the money I can get right now! I’m hoping they’ll authorize more overtime for this week too!
Overtime, Biscuits, and Balls….Oh My!
I could go for some extra money and healthy carby stuff too
I’ve been wanting to make those beans balls! I am a bean queen, but for some reason have taken time off craving lots of veggies. I think it’s time to whip those up seeing them here, too. I hope you had a lovely belated birthday dinner with Alex! xo
Holy BALLS Batman! I am drooling over here….are you kidding me with these biscuits?! With jelly….HELLO!
Mmmm balls with garbanzo’s = Brilliant!

Ha, over time is totally a love/hate! Hate to work late but love that money!!!
Yay to extended bday dinners….
Bean balls. hehe. I like that.
Those look really good!! I love fluffy yet flaky biscuits, and these seem right on.
I re-read the bit about the bean balls again, just because of the (heh, balls) comment – it made me laugh both times
Hahhahahahahhaah I’m so glad my juvenile humor isn’t lost on my readers! xo
Delicious balls and biscuits (that’s what she said…)
Hope you had a fun b-day dinner!
I love love biscuits and jam. Biscuits are so versatile and now you’re reminding me to make them this weekend for breakfast.
Happy belated b-day celebration! Gotta make that money, girl! : )
