Old Fashioned Sausage Gravy

August 12, 2020 by Debbie 8 Comments

Old Fashioned Sausage Gravy is a southern staple usually served with a flaky Buttermilk biscuit. This creamy gravy can be whipped up in minutes and is hearty enough to be served for any meal of the day. This was the first type of gravy my mother taught me to make. When I learned I really didn’t cook, so basically if a teenager can make this anyone can. This gravy was dished up on a regular basis when I was growing up , I had two older brothers and we all loved it. My mother didn’t make homemade biscuits but we sometimes had this served over toast and even a big dollop on some hash browns. This old fashioned sausage gravy is a must when making my Southern Buttermilk Biscuits.

Southern Buttermilk Biscuits

July 29, 2020 by Debbie 13 Comments

There is nothing more comforting than a good old fashioned hot Southern Buttermilk Biscuits slathered with soft creamy butter. Biscuits are the bread of the south and growing up at my grandmother’s house there was rarely a meal that biscuits were not a part of . Just a platter of biscuits and butter placed in the middle of the table . I’ll be honest , when I was young I had no desire to learn to cook biscuits. I mean the ones from the can are good, Right? They are acceptable in a pinch but homemade are always better.

Apple Crumb Muffins

July 18, 2020 by Debbie Leave a Comment

These bakery styled Apple Crumb Muffins are light and fluffy with hints of cinnamon. They are packed with bits of apples and topped with a buttery crumb topping . These are the perfect grab and go breakfast but are delicious enough to have as a light dessert. Being a busy mom I adore muffins ! There are so many varieties and they can be made ahead of time then everyone grabs one as they race out the door. These muffins I adapted to mimic my favorite pie, an Apple Crumb pie. Yeah I know, not the healthiest breakfast but a nice treat every now and then and they smell amazing while baking . My family also loves my Banana Oat Muffins and a little healthier Protein Peanut Butter Mini Muffins.

Apple Dutch Baby

June 29, 2020 by Debbie 18 Comments

This Apple Dutch Baby is a delicious twist on a traditional dutch baby pancake. It has tender apples in every bite and full of cinnamon flavor. If you have never made a dutch baby it is one of those things that is so impressive when it comes out of the oven all big and puffy . Then watching it deflate in a amazement, trust me everyone will gasp . My aunt used to call these “Lazy Day Pancakes”, now that I have made 650 million pancakes I totally get this . Once you know a few tricks these are super simple to make. I made this in mind to go with two of my other recipes my Buttermilk Bourbon Syrup and my Vanilla Crown Royal Whipped Cream. This is totally optional but put all these flavors together and you will think you are at a fancy restaurant for brunch.

Banana Oat Muffins

March 25, 2020 by Debbie 2 Comments

These Banana Oat Muffins came to be because I am trying to stay out of the stores and use what we have on hand. What crazy times we are living in. I have an autistic son that eats a banana everyday for breakfast and he isn’t happy with me for not having fresh bananas. Sure hope these muffins will replace his morning banana but we will see , he is such a creature of habit. If you have some over ripe bananas and have never baked with them this is the perfect recipe to start with. I am a huge fan of cooking with ripe bananas check out my Banana Oatmeal Chocolate chip cookies.

Pimento and Cheese Sausage Balls

February 21, 2020 by Debbie 16 Comments

These Pimento and Cheese Sausage Balls are added to my list of favorite bite size snacks. I am obsessed with my Smoked Gouda and Pimento Cheese and making all sorts of goodies with it. This is my latest addition to the list but feel free to use your favorite store bought version. When cream cheese and pimento cheese is added to this sausage ball it really gives it a great creamy texture. The flavor is amazing also but if you like something with a pop of flavor use spicy sausage but the regular is perfect for me.

Eggnog French Toast is a holiday twist on a plain breakfast. Eggnog truly is the taste of Christmas and making french toast with it is not only delicious but easy.
