Comfort At Any Time Of Day

Sausage with toasted crusty bread


Breakfast foods are some of the best combinations going, simple eggs, bacon, sausage, kielbasa, and good bread with butter, and jan or preserves.
These foods can put you in a good frame of mind to start your day.

I also apply the same foods to umcomplicate a long day and relieve the stress. So many times Jeanette and I will have some of these for our evening meal, it is both satisfying and and comforting.

Give it a try sometime.

    MMM, yummy. I often eat breakfast food at any time of the day.

    On the subject of food. When I was in the US the people I stayed with often made bisquites and gravy. Care to share your favorite recipe for this? I just never seem to get it right.

    Thanks. I have had biscuits and gravy when in the Army, but I have never made them myself.

    3rd try is the charm...Ok...Here is one easy recipe for B&G...
    1. Buy the refrigerator biscuits...bake as directed.
    2. In a deep fry pan or electric skillet...brown 1 lb of ground sausage. Drain grease and return to low heat on stove.
    3. Add one softened 8 oz. cream cheese. Stir into sausage mixture until melted in...
    4. Gradually add 1 C. milk into this mixture and blend...gradually add another 1/2 C milk and blend. As the gravy cooks, it thickens...So, you might need to add a little more milk until it is the thickness that you like. Lastly, add 1/4 tsp. poultry seasoning.

    Wallah! Easy...I hope! You guys are the lucky ones that get to try my secret recipe!! It is a little different than most because of the cream cheese flavor...but, that is my favorite part...so there's one to try! Enjoy! ~ RD

    Thanks RD. That sounds yummy. The problem is that in my part of the world nobody knows what biscuits are and we certainly don't get to buy pre made ones. You don't have a secret recipe for home made ones perhaps?

    I have been watching Diner's, Drive Inns and Dives lately and one of the things I miss from being in the US is proper diners. We just dont get them over here. I just love greasy food. :-)

    FINAL RECIPE!!! I just made it for dinner...changing it up a little to make a little more gravy for you hungry guys!

    1. Buy the refrigerator biscuits...bake as directed. (Or use RD's recipe below)
    2. In a deep fry pan or electric skillet...brown 1 lb of ground sausage. Drain grease and return to low heat on stove.
    3. Add 1 and 1/2 softened cream cheese blocks(12 oz.) Stir into sausage mixture until melted in...
    4. Gradually add 1 C. milk into this mixture and blend...gradually add another 1/2 C milk and blend. As the gravy cooks, it thickens...So, you might need to add a little more milk until it is the thickness that you like. Lastly, add 1/4 tsp. poultry seasoning.

    RD's Quick and Easy Biscuits (For AFA, but actually better than the refrigerator biscuits!)

    2 cups all purpose flour
    6 teaspoons baking powder
    6 tablespoons butter or margarine (softened 15 seconds in microwave)
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 egg
    milk (at least half a cup) I used 3/4 C.

    Mix flour, baking powder, butter, and salt until well mixed. When pressed together, it should hold it's shape, but crumbled once disturbed. Add egg and approx 1/4 cup of milk. Mix well. Add milk until you reach desired consistency.

    Softer dough means lighter, softer biscuits. For stiffer, more filling biscuits, use stiffer dough.

    Turn onto well floured surface, and roll to 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Biscuits will double in size when baked. Cut into circles, and let rest on sprayed or lightly greased pan for 5 - 10 mins.
    Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 -12 minutes (until lightly golden) Enjoy!

    I don't know what gets to me more--the beautiful brookies you catch or these scrumptious-looking meals. Nice job!
