Salt Springs offers plenty of fun; including, fishing, camping, biking and hiking. Lake Kerr is also a place to enjoy a variety of water sports. Just inside the town limits is "Bass Champions," a seafood/country cooking restaurant that has become a favorite of locals as well as those from other parts of the state.

The main roads through Salt Springs are SR 19, CR 314 and CR 316, both of which run into SR 19.

Tip of the Day:

Fixing a car that is noticeably out of tune can improve its gas mileage by an average of 4 percent, though results vary based on the kind of repair and how well it is done.

Fixing a serious maintenance problem, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve your mileage by as much as 40 percent. - from the US Gov

Today's Recipe

Recipe from Linda Pottberg

My favorite recipe from my PopPop in South Carolina

Biscuits & Cheese

Pile of shredded Cheddar cheese (we used to have to shred by hand)

spread evenly out about 2" high in a buttered 8x12" cake pan

milk to cover (I use Smart Balance) butter or margarine (I use Smart Balance)

pepper to taste.

Put in a 300 degree oven (or whatever temp you cook the biscuits in)

I use Pillsbury wheat biscuits (but the good old country white ones are best:)

bake uncovered until milk curdles and the cheese is soupy.

Open up a biscuit

Put it in a bowl

With lg kitchen serving spoon put cheese mixture over biscuit

& indulge!!!

This is our New Year's Day meal . . . just in case we have any plans on
