Bacon Cheddar Chive Biscuits by Angela Roberts of Spinach Tiger

Bacon Cheddar Chive Biscuits are the perfect biscuit for a Sunday morning. There is time to fry the bacon, grate the cheese and go out the garden to snip off some fresh chives. I mentioned morning, but these biscuits travel well into supper time served with soup or salad.

I realize this makes two biscuits recipes in one week, but I was so happy with the outcome of both the recipe, the rave reviews from friends and family and the pictures, that I had to post it.

Sometimes writing a blog is overwhelming, because there is so much more behind the scenes than a non-blogger might realize. There are those miraculous times when a simple post is magic the first time around and I grab a quick photo, write a few words and it heads to the top five most popular posts.

Then there are the times I work very hard to test and perfect a recipe, perhaps in three rounds and taking hundreds of photos, only to come up short and not be happy about the work. Frustration can set in, because the blog becomes a job with an unrelenting boss (me).

This was one of those days where I just happened to be making a family breakfast and while not really intending to post yet another biscuit recipe, it all worked. The day was sunny. The chives in my garden were flowering and needed to be harvested.

This was my first year growing chives. I had no idea I would look out into my herb garden and see  beautiful purple flowers, which by the way are also edible. Once the chive plant flowers, cut down to about two inches. The plant may need to be divided. It’s very hearty, grows in full sun and likes cold weather. We have a very cool Spring, and the chives went crazy, growing quickly. I now need some more ideas for chives, as they are flourishing.

If you have a favorite chive recipe, drop me a line. Also, do you have a favorite type of biscuit or one you would like to see me make? Drop me a comment with your biscuit wish and I’ll see what I can do.

Mix the chives into the flour before adding other ingredients so it is evenly dispersed. Shred the cheese as finely as you can. biscuit process

Use crisp bacon. Pat biscuit dough down in the bowl. Cut with a biscuit cutter.

    Angela, I love it when you make biscuits as they always have a lovely twist. I have chives growing in my little garden. The plant has been there for 3 years now, dies back and returns each Spring. Not only are chives tasty, I also cut the flowers and add to bouquets.

      Teresa I just saw a post where they take the blooms and add to white vinegar for a chive vinegar. I’m seeping mine right now. Today we made gluten free biscuits (not bad) and chocolate chip cookie dough biscuits). Ha.
      Thanks as always for stopping by.

    You are so right Angela, there is so much behind the scenes stuff behind a blog that people don’t see! I’ve been making biscuits slash scones a lot lately with the cooler weather. These sound like a fabulous flavour combo made better with your home grown chives! 😀

    Biscuit love! I love chives and they always come up each year in my teeny postage stamp sized garden. I love them sprinkled onto to an omelet or eggs. Cheddar and chive is a taste match made in Heaven. xo

TUSCAN SHRIMP - You can find tuscan everything on Pinterest. Tuscan chicken, Tuscan salmon and my Tuscan shrimp. They all have one thing in common….a whole cup of heavy cream. I decided to slim it down a bit by adding only a splash of cream, and using a thickening gel made from xanthan gum, (recipe below)  and some broth. I spiced it up with some Trader Joe’s  bomba sauce, ❤️👩🏻‍🍳which in case you haven’t noticed, I put it in EVERYTHING. Recipe coming soon.

Happy Weekend Friends. I feel the need to bring you a smattering of cheer and goodwill. Sugar free, grain free, gluten free, with keto friendly chocolate whoopie pies. #linkinprofile  https://spinachtiger.com/grain-free-chocolate-whoopie-pies/ 

I hope you’re having the best Saturday you can have. I did a lot of early baking and now it’s me and Peaches watching the PBS Masterpiece Theater. I love my subscription to Acorn and Britbox, PBS. Anyone else an Acorn fan? I love Agatha Raisin, Deadwater fell, Doc Martin, Delicious, Nothing Trivial, 800 Words, The Heart Guy, Murdock Mysteries, A Place to Call Home, Poirot, Mount Pleasant, Father Brown. 
On Brit Box, the funniest show (and uplifting) I’ve ever seen is Mrs. Brown’s Boys. HIGHLY recommend that but beware of some swear words. (It’s Irish)

Taco Tuesday, even if you’re on keto! At first glance you would think you can’t eat this on a low carb diet. Think again. Fish fried with pork panko, sitting in my grain free tortillas (which you can buy in my bakery by the way). You can use a food processor to transform pork rinds into pork panko. I found the pork panko at costco (affordable, finally and they are life changing for a grain free diet).

Good Morning Saturday.  Dutch baby is keto friendly and recipe is on the blog. Ingredients below. We eat this with choc zero maple syrup which is sugar free and delicious. We’re going to have a nice breakfast before we face our basement. Everything has to be moved to the garage  before Thursday when electricity is rewired. We are finally finishing out this 850 square feet walk out, and I can’t wait to get to the wall painting/decorating part. I need this project to keep my mind on happy things!

We cannot control the crazy in our wold right now, but we can control what we eat. This spicy salmon is keto friendly with ground pork rinds giving crunch. Not only seriously delicious, but Omega 3 good for you. 
I choose healthy but I also choose pleasurable food. This is placed atop cauliflower rice and some nice white wine wouldn’t hurt either.  The spicy comes from Trader Joe’s Italian Bomba Hot Pepper Sauce made with fermented  Calabrian chili peppers. It’s my new go to. EASY Recipe coming soon.

My most popular blog post is this New York Strip Steak, 185,000 times this year! And, I get the nicest comments about my method. It’s a pan sear and then to oven recipe, but the tips are what bring success. It’s not a reverse sear, which I’ve done with some other steaks, because I like that method with really thick steak. Strip steaks tend to be thinner and the sear and roast method keeps my steak medium rare. Salt and Pepper are my only seasonings…Maybe a bit of butter and thyme. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/new-york-strip-steak-recipe/

Tips for the Perfect Steak

* Salt the steak 24 hours in advance. It goes into the meat overnight, adds moisture and enhances flavor
* Don’t cover steaks in the fridge. The outside of the steak should be dry if you want to sear them. Put them on a rack so both sides dry.
* Make sure the steak is dry, before searing. When ready to cook, I used to think my steak needed to come down to room temperature, but I now find that I get a better sear  with a cold steak, as long as the steak is dry. It’s the water that comes out of the steak that prevents that nice sear, also known as the mallaird effect.
* Start with a very hot  cast iron pan.
* Do not add oil until pan is hot.
* Use a round grill press, if you can, but no worries if you don’t have one.

Happy New Year! Fingers crossed🤞🏼. Prayers said. 🙏🏻Celebrating today with carnitas and a black eyed peas dip. 👩🏻‍🍳Lucky black eyed peans mean prosperous. Eating pork is also something about pigs rooting forward. Growing up we ate pork and sauerkraut every New Years. 🥳Today it’s a little bit more modern. The black eyed peas is coupled with black beans, pickled red onion from @thekitchn, pickled jalapeño, cilantro, various bell pepper, lime juice avocado and plenty of salt. You must have the salt to awaken and balance the vinegar. Since last week’s Nashville bombing, my appetite was meh. Today is a new year and I’ve invited company and look forward to all the good every year has, no matter what. Helmet of salvation beats this earth stuff any day! (Recipe will come to the blog this week). SpinachTiger dot com reached 12 years!

Cheeseball and Peaches  have so enjoyed the lockdown this year! This is a rare moment when they are actually cuddling together. They cuddle people more. They have the large deck outside to roam. They race around chasing each other in the middle of the night and for them life is wonderful. Reflecting on the past year, I’m truly an optimist, even in 2020.  Many good things happened, shadowed by Covid fallout some because of Covid. The biggest down for me personally was the lack of adventure, connection, parties, dining out, inviting people over, talking to my customers face to face. These are not shallow things. They are the things that boost the immune system and prolong life. Bread and water shared with people trumps a huge feast eaten alone. So my happiest times this year have been with people I love and the getaway at my friend’s farm. Getting OUTSIDE without a mask, without fear has meant everything. The joy of the Lord is my strength and I pray for a lot of JOY for 2021, for as a believer, it’s never pitch dark.

How warped time is now. Three days ago, bombing in Nashville. FBI says solved. Life goes on. Power restored. Went to my usual Monday morning workout. HOWEVER, my brain and heart can’t catch up this fast. Taking a day to chill, process, and look at the big fat year ahead. Bakery owner, full-time food blogger. Thinking about what new doors to open, what doors I should shut. I’ll leave you with this. 2020 started off amazing! I scheduled my first bakery classes and was so gleeful to be able to make one of my dreams come true. In March they all had to be cancelled. The bakery grew during the lockdown! The blog took a major hit in ad dollars due to pandemic. The blog grew substantially in 4th quarter. The blog broke all $ records this month. The bakery closed for three weeks substantial exposure to Covid (taking care of those infected) I never got it! 34 year old sister in law (ex) died suddenly of pancreatic cancer six weeks after diagnosis in July. Her father died five months later. My step mother’s duties increased a bit due to this. She inherited $10,000 from a separate source. So like everyone else, its been up and down and up and down and I didn’t even mention politics, riots, etc. WOW! However, unlike most people, I’m going to call this the best year of my life and marriage. WHY? I started a prayer call in March, praying 4 to 5 days weekly. It has changed my life, my husband’s life and those who come to pray. It has meant EVERYTHING!  By the way this is a cake I never wrote about. Blackberry w lemon mascarpone. What is the ONE GREAT THING of 2020 you experienced?

Can food make you feel better? Sometimes. But it’s been a rough two days. Remember when I said on Christmas Eve, “may tomorrow be as nice as this day: That didn’t age well. What a time! Great little Christmas morning and then I looked at my phone. A BOMB exploded in downtown Nashville. 😡😢Even though I live miles away, our cell service is still not working. We lost internet and TV as did thousands in five states.  Doug ran to Comcast the next morning to get us a temporary account. The scary thing aside from a BOMB, is how vulnerable we are with no cell service or internet (AT & T) as it was all housed in one building with no back up plan. Did you know our infrastructure is this vulnerable? Many of us still can’t call 911 if we needed to. 🙁We are grateful no residents were harmed from the bomb. We still don’t know the “who” in the remains. We don’t know what to believe. 🤷🏻‍♀️I highly recommend watching the Netflix show, Manhunt Deadly Games (about Richard Jewell (falsely accused) and Eric Rudolph (the actual Centennial Park Bomber). Great insight into serial bombers, lone wolfs, and the FBI. 🙏🏻 for not just Nashville but for America.
