Acquired Taste

If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile now, I am sure you’ve heard me mention that other than on pizza, I am not a huge cheese fan. I’ve only tried a handful of cheese—cheddar, American(really dislike), mozzarella, and Parmesan. Well lately, since I have been trying more dishes that are centered around cheese, I have slowly been acquiring a taste for it, and dare I say…craving it! Ok, all you cheese lovers can say, “I told you so!” (yes, Sophia..you!)   :-)

So I’ve decided since there is so much cheese out there that I haven’t tried, I better get on the cheese train and start trying at least one different cheese a week. What is your favorite cheese? Since I’ve heard so much about feta cheese and how it’s such a great addition to dishes, I figured I better start there. I picked up some Athenos crumbled Basil & Tomato feta cheese. I am still needing to try out more Bisquick recipes for my upcoming classes. This recipe fit the bill! Of course, I made some changes, but you can find the original recipe here.

• 1 c milk, I used Almond Breeze

So fancy and delicious, yet WAY easy!
