Roasted Cornish Hens, homemade biscuits and strawberry shortcakes.

One thing that I LOVE doing is cooking! For this past weekends meal I had a few friends over for Roasted Cornish Hens with Grapes. I also whipped up biscuits and shortcakes that where later covered in strawberries.

Cornish hens are nice treat and they take about half the time it takes for a whole chicken. It took me about an hour to get these little hens on the table. I encourage you to explore your cookbooks to try and find a fast recipe that will be easy and yummy.

I know its simple to crack open some biscuits in a can. However, buttermilk biscuits are simple to make and truly don't take much time at all. I love the taste of buttermilk biscuits as the buttermilk tenderizes and adds flavor. That and you can tell if the food you are consuming is real and clean or pumped full of preservatives.

Strawberry Shortcake is often cited as the single most popular dessert across the country, and for good reason. The combination of sugared fresh fruit, sweet biscuits, and whipped cream makes for a delightful jumble of contrasting taste, textures, and flavors in every spoonful. What is event better about the concept of strawberry shortcake is that it can be adapted to use any summer fruits at their glories peak.
