Every so often, my husband and I feed the kids dinner, give them their baths, put them to bed, and then we cook together and eat with not even one bite being interrupted. We usually make something we know the kids won't eat, but that we love, and then we sit in the living room to eat - something we try to never do with the kids. Last night, we grilled steaks, roasted some asparagus, and made a new potato recipe that turned out great. (I'll post the asparagus and potato recipes later.) I also made these Garlic and Parmesan Bread Knots. They were awesome. I found the recipe on www.realmomkitchen.com, but changed it just a little for what I already had on hand. I will definitely be making these again. I'm thinking they would be great at Thanksgiving!
Garlic and Parmesan Bread Knots
1 can of 8 biscuits (I used Grands, Jr! Butter Flake)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tbsp. Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
3 tbsp. Parmesan cheese (I used the kind from the green can.)
Roll each biscuit into a rope (I just used my hands) then tie into a knot and tuck the ends under. Place 2" apart on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or until golden brown. In a bowl, combine oil, seasonings and cheese. Spoon mixture (or brush it) over the knots while they're still warm. I made them ahead and then stuck them back in the oven for just a couple of minutes to warm back up. They were so good!
