Red Lobster Biscuits

We were at Red Lobster this past weekend and I love their biscuits (I do not usually like biscuits). Does anyone happen to have a recipe for these? I would really appreciate any response for this.

Thank you in advance!

Olive Oil That Tastes Like Olive Oil

Do any "foodies" out there know of an olive oil that tastes like OLIVE oil? All the companies seem to be advertising a "light" taste. I'm looking for something with an unmistakable olivey flavor, even better if it doesn't cost a fortune.

Thanks,
Doggy U*u*U from TX

Stouffers Scalloped Chicken Recipe

Stouffers has a frozen meal I absolutly love but it is so expensive. It's called Scalloped chicken. It has noodles, bread crumbs on top, creamy sauce, celery and onions. I made something yesterday, I found a recipe for chicken romanoff, it sort of tastes like it but what I made has cottage cheese.

Does anyone know a recipe for the chicken from stouffers?

Thank you,
Sandy from Baltimore
