I've said before my family and I are seasonal eaters. I love eating seasonal foods! Spring there's plenty of greens, summer tons of fresh fruits and vegetables, fall there's lots of squash and root vegetables.....and winter? Well, bread. Baked goods of all kinds is winter food. Basically.
Some of you may not agree with me on seasonal foods. However, I'm sure you'll agree with me when you make a batch of these warm, herby biscuits that these are so considered winter food. And amazingly tasty!
I love making theses to go alongside a big bowl of potato soup or any other soup that could use a flavorful companion. They're nice and easy and oh so good!
I do hope you give these biscuits packed with savory herbs and garlic a try!
