Welcome to my cookbook! I have several recipes that folks have asked for, so I decided to post them here. Some are included in the ward cookbook, but many of them are things I found after that was published so I wanted a place to put them so my family had access to them. I'll add to this as I find things that I think need to be shared. If you have a recipe you'd like to add, let me know and I'll add you as a contributor.

11×17 pan, sprayed with cooking spray (Note: a 9×13 works too, but might need to bake a little longer)

1. Mix your eggs and milk in a large bowl.  Cut each biscuit into fours and add it to the bowl.  do this before cooking the bacon or cutting up the scallions – give the biscuits some time to really soak in the eggs.
