Recipes from Terrie's Kitchen

Many of our guest have asked if Terrie would share some of the recipes she uses to perform her breakfast magic. She is happy to share! I will warn you, however, that a good part of what she does in the kitchen is truly magic. Years ago my brother asked her for her biscuit recipe. She dictated it to him from memory. A year later he asked her again for the same recipe. Again, she dictated it to him. This happened for several subsequent years. Final my brother, a little exasperated said that every year the recipe had been different. There is a great deal of science in cooking, but equally there is an element of art. When I prepare breakfast I use the science. When Terrie cooks, it is all art! I do an acceptable job, but I will admit I lack the magic!
