Inexpensive Hors d'oeuvres / Appetizers

Cheesy Sausage Biscuits

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Ingredients:

1 roll of refrigerator biscuits

1/3 roll of breakfast sausage (mild, medium or spicy - your preference)

4 oz. or more (again, your preference) of grated cheese (Grate it yourself to save money, and use mild, medium, or sharp cheddar or any of the mixes - - colby jack or any other variation is wonderful) - - mozz isn't so great for this type of treat

Instructions:

Combine all ingredients in bowl and kneed it with hands until fully mixed

Roll out in smaller than palm sized balls and place on baking sheet

Bake until browned (check to see that sausage is cooked)


Note: Double or triple the ingredients to make a larger number of appetizers. Also, adjust cheese amounts and sausage to taste.

These are absolutely wonderful and simple to make appetizers.

You can dip in Caesar or Ranch for added tastiness.

An up and coming business with very little overhead

Have you considered grass painting?

As seen in Fortune and Inc. Magazines

Anyone here been out of work for quite some time and trying to find a way to start your own business so that you can get back to work and getting some income? I have been thinking that maybe it is the best and quickest way to earning money once more. Not to mention that perhaps in this day and age, it is best to be dependent on no employer. After some extensive research, I have learned that grass painting is an up and coming business and very cheap to get started. You just need to know the "ins and outs" of the business. I did an online search to see what is available to those wanting to start their own lawn painting business, and frankly, I was disappointed at the lack of resources. To be even more frank, I was surprised by advertisers who seem to be offering a lawn painting business in a box, for lack of a better term, and at a huge upfront investment to the entrepreneur. It is not wise to put so much money out up front at the beginning of any business.

There is an ebook available that can get you started for much less than anyone else is offering to get a lawn painting business started, and there is already a 2nd edition available. In the 2nd edition of "How to Start a Lawn Painting Business" ebook, the following topics are covered:

  • How to formulate a business plan and how to reach your personal/professional goals;
  • What equipment you need, where to get the equipment, and how to use the equipment;
  • How to market your business, to include building a website, online marketing, search engine optimization, "on foot" marketing, how / where to purchase marketing materials, sample marketing flyers, and who your likely customers are;
  • How to prepare estimates, a sample price sheet, where to get your information from, and how to deal with your customers (recommendations for payments, billing, etc.);
  • Common pitfalls and mistakes to avoid;
  • List of best resources (many of which are free) with hyperlinks included so that you can click on the resource and be immediately directed to the recommended vendor, website building company, etc.
