Celebrate Breakfast



Cold December mornings. A crisp bite in the air and the strong-willed wind that crashes at your window panes. There's nothing like a hot cup of coffee and the enticing smell of cinnamon to warm you as you wake.

I'm all about sitting over my coffee mug and Roger is the breakfast chef in this house. This morning he baked. He baked a Bisquick Cinnamon Raisin Biscuit recipe that could compete with the taste, texture and aroma of any fine bakery. These biscuits or scones offered a double dose of cinnamon with an extra drizzle on top. The best part is that they are super quick and easy to make (as long as you mix extremely well).

I would recommend these delicious treats for your weekend breakfast or for holiday guests. The flavors are true Christmas and are sure to bring lots of spirit to your home.
