These were a staple on my Mea's countertop. She made these cookies for just about every gathering we had as a family. My mom found my Mea's recipe jotted down on a Mother's day card that she had received. This recipe and these cookies are so special to me. If I close my eyes when I take a bite, I can almost sense being back in her kitchen with her sitting at the end of the kitchen table, with a big smile, waiting to hear how good her cookies were.

Maybe it's just all my memories of delicious homemade meals, but nothing goes with a big bowl of chowder or soup quite like a fluffy cheddar biscuit. To my mind, they shouldn't be as buttery as a classic biscuit: a little less rich so they don't compete with the creamy broth, and a bit breadier so they don't crumble apart after dunking!

There's no recipe here, just an easy entertaining idea to beat this heat! These are made with Mike's Hard lemonade Strawberry Margarita. The traditional margarita made with tequila needs a much colder temperature to freeze than regular home units will allow. Instead of using the salt and worrying about it melting, you can use chunky crystal sugar for an aesthetic effect, and it won't melt. Enjoy!

Man oh man, this is a great party favor to have! My husband and I enjoy spending time with our friends outdoors doing recreational activities. We ride ATV's at mud parks many times throughout the year and a favorite thing to bring is moonshine. During the day we ride trails and get MUDDY and watch people race against each other in the bounty holes. At night, we all gather around a fire with good music going and great conversation and pass around some jars of moonshine!
