Cheddar Onion Biscuits

I made these tonight to go with our spaghetti since I am out of yeast and can't make bread. They were fabulous! Similar to Red Lobster biscuits, but no garlic.

Strawberry Bread (recipe from What's Cookin' in Kalamazoo)

2(10 oz) packages of frozen strawberries, thawed (I used about 4 cups and drained some of the liquid)

4 eggs

1 1/4 veg oil

3 c. flour

2 c. sugar

3 t cinnamon

1 t baking soda

1 t salt

Grease and flour 2 (5x9 in) loaf pans. Combine all ingredients; stir by hand until well blended. Pour into pans and bake for 1 hr at 350. Let stand 10-20 minutes in the pan (This is crucial! I didn't wait on the first pan and I made a big mess.) before removing from pan.

Excellent bread! Very moist and unique strawberry flavor.
