Overcoming Discouragement

Settled now into our new home in Eastern Kentucky, we have had the privilege of having out-of-town guests as well as new friends in our new church to our home for dinner. My husband spoke yesterday about ways to overcome discouragement. I mentioned to him that one way I get my mind in a healthy frame of mind is serving others. I ask the Lord to place someone on my heart who needs encouragement. I send cards, an email note, make a phone call or make a meal. Having others into our home and sharing a meal together is another great way to lift up your heart. With cooler weather and shorter days coming soon, I encourage you to open up your heart and home to others. I know you will be blessed.

I served these biscuits recently when we had some friends over and received a great compliment when they were certain these were homemade biscuits. They are actually made from canned biscuits and are extremely easy to make--they just have a lot of good flavor.

Tiny Herbed Biscuits

1 can (10 count) refrigerated biscuits
1/4 c. butter or margarine
1 1/2 t. celery flakes
1 1/2 t. parsley flakes
1/2 t. dill weed or seed
1 t. instant minced onion
1 1/2 T. grated Parmesan cheese

Melt butter in an 8 or 9-inch round cake pan. Stir in all the seasonings (except cheese). Quarter each biscuit and roll in butter mixture. Keep adding more pieces until all have been turned around and covered with mixture. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Place plate over cake pan and invert biscuits onto plate.
