Lobster-ific Biscuits

It's almost Valentine's Day, and that means my 11th wedding anniversary is fast approaching. If you've been following my blog since last year, you may remember that my 10th anniversary was slightly underwhelming. I wanted to go to Hawaii; we went to Red Lobster instead. I have a wonderful husband, but a romantic he is not!

This year, I've lowered my expectations a little; in fact, I'm pretty sure we'll be eating Valentine's dinner at 5 Guys. There were a couple great things about last Valentine's Day: a kid-free weekend, a romantic movie, and some super yummy coconut shrimp and biscuits. This year, I intend to duplicate at least two of those experiences, and you can too, with my coconut shrimp recipe found here and the cheddar biscuit recipe below. These biscuits are cheesy, garlicky clouds of addictiveness and they probably went a long way towards helping me keep Mr. Romantic satisfied for the last 11 years!
