Back in the day, I used to love Red Lobster. I know, guys, I KNOW. But it was one of the first restaurants I remember going to with my grandmother and Aunt Helen. That and Sizzler. Yes, I was a senior citizen trapped in a seven-year old apparently.
Still, you couldn’t beat their Cheddar Bay Biscuits: ooey gooey cheesy herby biscuits of yummy goodness. And since my goal in life is to not only never feel deprived of the gluten-laden foods we can no longer eat but make them healthier, I set out to make my own totally grain-free. I served these at Mother’s Day dinner last month when my non-gluten-free mother-in-law was visiting and she even loved them! I was pleased with the texture and the flavor and they are incredibly nutrient dense.
