Biscuits and Gravy

Do you ever get this crazy desire to make something that you've never made before? When I was a kid, I LOVED biscuits and gravy! I don't remember the last time I've had them. So the other day I realized I had all the ingredients necessary to make some deeeelish biscuits and gravy and went to work on getting a good recipe. I used Bisquick for the biscuits, then whipped together the gravy and even made bacon on the side to add to it. As I was making the gravy I noticed that these ingredients are not the "ideal" when it comes to health. In fact the gravy consists of Greasy Sausage, Milk, Cream or 1/2 and 1/2, LOADS of butter and flour! My biscuits...not so appealing and a little burnt. It clogged my arteries just looking at it! I took one bite and all that desire went down the drain! I can honestly say I will never eat biscuits and gravy again.

  1. If you need a good biscuit recipe I can give you one - we always use the country gravy packets (by the taco seasoning) that you only have to add water. They are really yummy and way better for you!
