Pepper-Jack Cornmeal Biscuit Bites
The summer work on the ranch is in full swing. Gathering cattle, branding, fence fixing and hay baling is starting in the next day or two. My older boys and my nephew are putting in some long hours and working really hard. My job is to kept them fed and hydrated.
When they come in for lunch they are starving. Sometimes I don’t quite have it ready so I’ve been trying to get a few things baked for them to snack on. I had a chunk of Wisconsin pepper-jack in the fridge and thought some bite sized cheese biscuits would be ideal for them to snack on while I finish up lunch.
Turned out perfectly and with a glass of strawberry-lemonade it was a pretty good afternoon snack. The boys loved them and the pepper-jack cheese gave them just a little spicy kick.
Wisconsin Cheese has some great videos for pairing wine and cheese and I got such a kick out of them. I thought you would enjoy them too. This one is my favorite. If you would like to watch more of the videos, head on over to the Cheese Cupid site. Enjoy your weekend and be sure to stop in Monday for a VERY exciting giveaway!

These look great. I have everything to make these at home. I might try them tonight.
What a great idea to include some extra zip in these biscuits.
Pepper jack is one of my favorite cheeses to eat, love the kick! These look so scrumptious, I’d put in a couple of hours of work for a plate
These look amazingly good, yum!
These look so good! I love that the biscuits have a kick to them and I love that they’re bites and not the full sized ones

Cheesy awesomeness! I’d have trouble not eating them all myself.
Going to make these to go along with homemade baked beans tonight.
