Herb Biscuit Knots Bread Recipe

My family loves bread. Whenever I get a chance I try and make them rolls or bread with their meal. There is nothing as tasty as homemade bread. Even though nothing is as tasty I do have some bread recipes that are quick and semi homemade. These herb biscuits knots uses refrigerator dough and are great! Everyone loves them and I got the recipe from Rush-Hour Recipes by Gooseberry Patch. 

Herb Biscuit Knots

*My family went crazy for these. Unreal at how easy & tasty they were.

Ingredients
12-oz tube refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
1/4 c. canola oil
1/2 t. garlic powder
1/2 t. Italian seasoning
1/8 t. salt

Directions
Cut each biscuits in half. 
Roll each piece into a 6-inch rope and tie in a loose knot. 
Place biscuits on a greased baking sheet. 
Bake at 400 degrees for about 9-11 minutes, until golden. 
Combine remaining ingredients in a small bowl. 
Immediately brush oil mixture over warm biscuits; brush again. Serve warm. Makes 20.

Kitchen notes
*I didn't buy the 12 oz tube of biscuits. Instead I bought the 7 oz smaller tubes that come in a 4 pack. If you go that route you don't cut the dough in half, use the entire dough to roll out into the 6-inch rope. *We do not like Italian seasoning so I used a different seasoning. This makes the recipe very versatile because you can vary the seasoning with whatever you are serving them with. *I also used butter instead of canola oil.

Dinner Time Busy Day Lasagna

Do you have a go-to meal that you can always count on? It is good to have several of those family favorite dinner time recipe to make on a whim. This busy day lasagna is one of those recipes. It is a tried and true family recipe which I got from Rush-Hour Recipes by Gooseberry Patch Cookbooks. It is one of those quick and easy meals you can put together in the morning and then toss in the oven and bake for dinner. 

Busy-Day Lasagna
*I served this for guest and they loved it. It really was quick and easy. I made it 6 hours ahead of time and baked it 1 hour before serving.

Ingredients
2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
1-1 1/2 c shredded Parmesan cheese
2- 26 oz jars favorite pasta sauce, divided
2- 25 oz pkgs frozen sausage & cheese ravioli, divided
12 oz pkg frozen spinach, thawed, drained & divided

Directions
Combine cheeses in a bowl; set aside. 
Spread a layer of sauce in a lightly greased 13x9 baking pan. 
Arrange a layer of ravioli on top of sauce. 
Spread a layer of spinach on top. 
Add a layer of cheese mixture, completely covering with spinach. 
Spoon some sauce over cheese. 
Repeat all the layers, ending with a layer of cheese. 
Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until cheese is melted and sauce has reduced a little. 
Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before cutting into squares. Makes 8-12 servings.

Kitchen Notes
I used only cheese ravioli and my own ground sausage, cooked and layered with the ravioli. The only problem I had with this recipe is that at 25 minutes the cheese was not melted and the sauce wasn't bubbly. So I kicked the stove up to 400 and it was done in 15 minutes. Next time I will just cook it at 400.
