DIY Bathroom Towel Holder

When I purchased these wire nesting baskets at TJ MAXX I was unsure of the plan. 

Two days later I thought of this board I bought at Michaels several months ago. 

I propped the baskets up to the board and saw that they would fit!!

Next I painted the boards with some left over paint I had. This is Annie Sloan Duck Egg. 

We used U shaped nails to attach the baskets. 

Placed it on the wall in bathroom. 

And decorated. 

I love it!!

Quick Project.

Remove roast from crock pot. 

Shred meat up removing any fat.

Buttermilk Biscuit Bread

This bread is so good. I'm addicted to it. Especially now that tomatos are in season. 

Nothing better than a slice of biscuit bread. Heated with a little butter. And a sliced home grown Tennessee tomato. 

I stumbled upon this variation by mistake. And it's one of the best mistakes I've ever made. 

I added too much buttermilk to my biscuit recipe. And decided to pour it in a baking dish. The rest is history. My history anyway. 

~biscuit bread~

One stick of cold butter grated with a cheese grater. 

3 cups of self rising flour

2 1/2 to 3 cups buttermilk. 

Grate the stick of butter. Toss the butter in a bowl with 3 cups of SR flour. 

I toss the flour and butter around with my fingers trying to incorporate the butter and flour well. 

Add 2 1/2 cups of buttermilk. Stir gently wth a spoon. 

You don't want to work it too much or biscuits will be tough. 

You will want this batter to be loose. 

So you might need to add more buttermilk. 

Grease a ceramic 9x13 or large casserole dish. My dish is smaller than 9x13 but deep. 

Pour dough into dish. 

Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. 

Until no longer jiggly in the middle and toasty brown on top. 

I LOVE this biscuit variation. And it's so easy. 

Enjoy!!
