Beverly's Baking Powder Biscuits
This week's   Recipe of the Week is brought to us by Beverly Johnson.  Her homemade biscuits are a big hit with her family and easy to make. Beverly says, "I have been cooking since I was a young child, I remember my grandma putting a milk crate near the stove so I could reach while she taught me her cooking secrets. I always loved her and I've always loved cooking. I am 60 years old now and have grandchildren of my own and I still love to cook and I love to try new recipes. I have made cook-books with my recipes in them for my children and I hope some day my grandchildren will remember me fondly for always having a good humor and good food as I do my grandmother."
