Garlic Biscuits

So many different variations... minus the garlic, add raisins for a morning biscuit or try adding a bit of non-dairy cheese for a creamy biscuit!

2 1/4 cup Bisquick
2/3 cup Silk Soy Milk
1 tsp minced garlic

Optional: Earth Balance to top

Makes: 9 biscuits

1: Preheat oven to 450
2: Stir all ingredients together, then knead 20 times

3: Roll out to 1/3-1/2 inch thick and cut circular shapes with a cookie cutter, or a drinking glass, as I did

4: Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 8 minutes

5: Glaze with a little Earth Balance if you'd like and serve warm

Garlic Red Mashed Potatoes

Oh my goodness!  So creamy and delicious and perfect with a nice herb gravy!

10 red potatoes
1/2 cup Silk Soy Milk (I used Very Vanilla to make them sweet)
2 tbsp Earth Balance
1 tbsp dried parsley
1 heaping tbsp minced garlic
salt & cracked pepper

1: Clean red potatoes very thoroughly, chop into chunks and boil until soft (maybe 12 minutes).  Strain and return to pot

 2: Add Earth Balance and soy milk and mash ingredients together

 3: Add garlic, dried parsley, lots of salt & cracked pepper and heat on medium, stirring continuously, until garlic has been infused into potatoes (about 5 minutes)
4: Serve warm (with gravy if you'd like!)

Garlic Butter

1 stick Earth Balance
2 tbsp chopped garlic

Mix together and store in an airtight container for use anytime you need garlic butter for a recipe!

Garlic Chive Mashed Potatoes

I'm pretty sure this qualifies as a version of a Greek skordalia, but as a side dish instead of a dip... the more garlic, the better!

6 large russet potatoes
4 green onions
1 tsp garlic
2 tbsp Earth Balance
1/4 cup soy milk

1: Peel, slice into wedges and boil potatoes until soft enough to break with a spoon, then strain
2: Pour into a large mixing bowl and mash to your liking
3: Slice green onions and add to potatoes along with Earth Balance, soy milk and garlic

*Season with salt and white pepper
