is easier because it skips the step of having to roll; and (B.)

it’s a little bit better.

No disrespect to my mom, but I love the craggy surface of a drop biscuit.

And so, to me, it just works with my life.

And in terms of the recipe, I just kept adding more butter until it was right."

“I had three siblings and we had a pretty busy house.

My mom cooked dinner, basically every weeknight.

And I still remember all of those dinners.

We don’t have huge crowds or huge gatherings.

And I think that’s part of why I love the holidays so much.

It’s time to unwind a little bit.

It’s not a time where we want to work extra hard.

And that has happened before.

So I kind of take my cues from that.

“I love a church potluck.

I just think church ladies are the best cooks, whether they’re Midwestern or Southern.

I mean, I’m not a food snob.

Like, some of those concoctions are, you know, just so bad they’re good.”
