This is our favorite Sunday morning breakfast. Easy and delicious.
2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
5 T. unsalted butter
1/2 c. grated cheese (we use cheddar but you could probably use many varieties like jalapeno jack) + extra for the top
1 c. low-fat buttermilk (I keep buttermilk powder on hand, then all you have to do is mix it with water)
Preheat oven to 425. Place a 10″ cast iron skillet in the oven to heat (I use two since it makes more biscuits than one skillet can handle)
Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in 4 T. butter using a pastry blender or two butter knives, until it reaches a crumbly consistency. Stir in the cheese, Make a well in the middle of the ingredients and pour in the buttermilk. Stir until just moistened, adding an extra T. of milk if needed.
Using a pot holder, remove the hot skillet from the oven and place T. butter in it. Swirl to melt the butter. When butter has melted, use 1/4 cup to drop batter into the pan. It’s okay if the biscuits touch. Bake 14-15 minutes until lightly browned and sprinkle with extra grated cheese and put back in for 1-2 minutes until melted.

About The Author
I am in a stage of new beginnings, of starting over on the other side of the continent from California, where I spent 38 years of my life. Moving to North Carolina was a bit of a shock to my system. Not so much culture shock but the shock of transplanting myself and starting over as a therapist, artist, and wild woman. I had to figure out how I was going to do it differently than I had been doing it. Because I knew I needed to change the way I worked outwardly to match the way I was feeling and moving inwardly and make it more playful, and at the same time, deep and meaningful.
I knew I wanted to work with women primarily, to help them find their way on the heroine's journey to wholeness. I knew I wanted to bring more creative expression to my work because that was what was working for me--a way to bypass all the analytical thinking, perfectionism, and psychological paradigms largely created by men, and find more more intuitive ways of Being, Creating and Flowing with Life, in keeping with the Divine Feminine.
I like working with the triple goddess: maiden, mother and crone, which describes the three stages of life as well as inner states of being--the innocent/adventurer; the nurturer and active doer; and the wise being who has the advantage of overview and doesn't care as much what others think of her as long as she is being true to herself. The triple goddess is found in most all cultures and traditions and helps us move out of dualistic thinking patterns and find our way to a more integrated and balanced way of life.
As I forge a new path, I want to connect with women all over the world, to help women own their power, and to both explore and offer tools for self-discovery and self-care. Creating my interactive e-book, "In the Lap of the Goddess: Connecting With the Divine Feminine," and my Goddess Temple e-courses based on the workbook are my offerings, a way to share with women the knowledge and wisdom we all hold within us, reflected in the goddess throughout history, across time, and in every corner of the world.
