Berfday Breakfast

Today was the ##th birthday of my Princess.  So to start the day I made her a good Southern Style sausage gravy, some drop biscuits, and friend eggs.  All in all a good way to start a birthday I think.  She likey'd my foodz.

I'm going to share my sausage gravy recipe! (makes enough gravy for TWO people)

• 1/2 lb Turkey Sausage
• 3 tbsp flour
• 2 1/2 cups milk
• 2-3 tbsp butter
• Salt and Pepper

In a large skillet, cook the sausage completely - make sure it crumbles well into small clumps.  Add the butter and sprinkle the flour over the sausage then stir constantly on high heat until the flour browns.  Browning the flour is important!  If you don't follow that step you'll end up with a gravy that tastes like thick wet flour with chunks of sausage in it!  Browning the flour ensures that your gravy will taste like the sausage - not the other way around.
Once the flour is browned, slowly stir in the milk.  Continue to constantly stir the gravy on high heat until it thickens.  If it gets too thick, simply add a little bit more milk - but not too much or else it will take away from the flavor.
Add the salt and pepper to taste.  You should be able to smell the pepper and taste its little bit of bite without it overpowering the flavor of the sausage.

Remove from heat when you're done and pour over a plate full of open biscuits.  I simply used the recipe on the box of Jiffy this time.  They're delicious and simple to make.  There are plenty of biscuit recipes out there, but I only share recipes that I've personally tried.


I don't have to point out that this is the first official entry on our blog here - but I figured My Princess's birthday was the perfect time to start.  Happy Birthday Baby!
