SchneiderPeeps - Cranberry Lemon Drop Biscuits make a great snack. They can be made a head of time and frozen for a quick grab and go treat. Last week I spent a few days filling my freezer with cooked food. I’ve written several times about trying to keep my teenagers fed. It’s never ending. Someone is always asking, “What’s there to eat?” 

While most people focus on freezer meals, I really focus on freezer snacks. I find that snacks can really make or break our grocery budget.

making snacksWe made our regular waffles, pancake mix, biscuit mix, banana muffins, pumpkin muffins, pie crusts, granola bars, and sour dough biscuit dough.

While rummaging around the freezer I found several bags of cranberries that I got on sale last November. I decided to make some cranberry lemon drop biscuits. I just made one batch the first day to see how everyone liked them. I knew they were a hit when Carl and Gabriel began hiding them from each other because each of them wanted to take them in his lunch the next day.

So the next day, we made 4 batches. I’m not sure how many are actually left.
