Roasted Broccoli and Garlic

Today I am talking about Vegetables.

Say Wha?!

That's right. Vegetables. And not just any vegetables-green ones.

I know, what's this world coming to.

I just, struggle with vegetables-ESPECIALLY green ones. I WANT to like them, I dooo! But, I don't. Thusly, I'm consistently on the hunt for new ways to trick myself into eating them. Because, ya know, I'd like to be healthy. When I found this recipe I knew it was a possibility. I hate broccoli. But, I love garlic. So...yeah, I thought this might be a thing to try. Worse came to worse-Michael would eat it! 

Now I have good news and bad news.

Good news: I ate 4 whole pieces of broccoli!

Bad news: That was all I could do before the broccoli flavor caught up to me. Michael polished off the rest.

A partial victory. I will take it. 

And I'm sure those of you who aren't as crazy as me will definitely love it.

Daring Bakers Challenge-Basic Biscuits (or "Scones")

Audax Artifex was our January 2012 Daring Bakers’ host. Aud worked tirelessly to master light and fluffy scones (a/k/a biscuits) to help us create delicious and perfect batches in our own kitchens!

This was my first Daring Bakers' Challenge! I am so excited to be taking part in this awesome community. This month is dedicated to mastering the perfect biscuits (or, if you're Britishly and/or Australian-y inclined, "scones"). We were allowed to truss it up a bit by doing things such as adding buttermilk ("Southern Biscuits) or cheese and herbs, but I decided-this is about the basics, I'm going to go basic.
