When I know times are gonna get hectic, like this past week, I try to get a jump on a few things for the family. I like to have several homemade dishes that the boys can pop in the toaster or microwave plus be time savers. I made a batch of these biscuits and they were just what we needed for an easy breakfast. They are really yummy toasted and when you add an egg with a little sausage or bacon...you are out the door in no time!
