This morning I was feeling a little bit southern, as I often
do whenever I feel like being extra nice to my dear husband J So I whipped up his
favorite biscuits and gravy! It also went with the theme for dinner which was
just south of Arkansas, some Cajun chicken
pasta ( another new recipe this week)
I wasn’t so sure breakfast was going to happen this morning
when about 6:30am the tornado child came into our room ready for the day. Luckily
he went back to sleep, and since my husband knew I was going to make his
favorite he even got up before us all to clean up the kitchen…isn’t he sweet? I
was never much of a southern cook, but when you marry a man who is used to his
sweet tea and grits in the morning , I had no choice but to learn. My recipe for biscuits and gravy is half
homemade, because like I told ya’ll before….i don’t do baking. SO pilsbury gets
the brownie points for the biscuits. But the gravy is all me!
Ingredients:
1.
Small tube of sausage
2.
¼ cup flour
3.
3 cups of milk divided
4.
Salt and pepper
5.
1 tablespoon butter
6.
Tablespoon sugar
7.
Can of biscuits J
Directions:
1.
Bake your biscuits according to
directions
2.
Brown your sausage in deep skillet
3.
Mix flour with 1 cup of cold milk.
No lumps! Set aside
4.
Add the tablespoon of butter to the
sausage
5.

6.

milk and flour mixture
7.

and pepper and add sugar
8.
Pull your biscuits out and spoon the
gravy over…mmmm so good
Winner winner chicken dinner!!!
I was really excited to try this recipe, ive been on this Cajun
kick and my trusty rajun Cajun best friend is always encouraging of my habit J Since I was out of the
authentic smoked Louisiana sausage I had
to find a different recipe to fill the spicy void in my stomach, and let me
just say Oh My Gosh! I am soooo darn happy I tried this recipe it was so
delicious!! It was also so simple! I have this rule that if a recipe takes up
all 4 stove burners it qualifies as fancy food, and well this tasted fancy
without taking too much of my time. It was great…we all chowed down and there
was leftovers which I am so excited for because pasta is always better the next
day.
