Biscuits and Gravy w/ Turkey Sausage Links

Today’s Menu: Biscuits and Gravy w/ Turkey Sausage Links
To start this morning off I had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Dark and gloomy day out there today. 47 degrees, cloudy and rain all day! After my Tea I headed to Meijer before the heavier rains
came in around 10:00 this morning. I got to Meijer about 7:10 this morning and by the time I left it was crowded. Mom needed some things for Thanksgiving so I got everything she wanted and a few items for me. A couple of people that work at Meijer told me It’s a good thing I came in now because they are having trouble getting items in. They had no Paper Towel, Toilet Paper, or cleaning products. Here we go again! So Breakfast sure sounded good this rainy day, so Breakfast it is! For Dinner tonight, Breakfast! I’m having Biscuits and Gravy w/ Turkey Sausage Links. I love Biscuits and Gravy!
I love Gravy! To make the Gravy I’m using a packet of my favorite Gravy, Pioneer Peppered Gravy Mix. So easy to prepare and absolutely delicious! To prepare it I get a small sauce pan and give it a
light spray of Pam non Stick Cooking Spray w/ Olive Oil. I add a 1 1/2 cups of Cold Water to the pan and heat it on high to a rolling boil. As that is heating up I preheated the oven for the Pillsbury Biscuits and I mixed the Gravy. In a measuring cup I added a 1/2 cup of Cold Water and then added the Gravy Mix to the Water and stirred until it smooth. When the Water was boiling I added the Gravy Mix. Turned down the heat a notch or two and started stirring the Mix and Water. Continued stirring until it started to thicken. Removed it from the heat and continued to stir it for about 30 seconds. I put the lid on the sauce pan and set it aside until I was ready to use it.
Time to bake the Pillsbury Flaky Layers Buttermilk Biscuits! Took a small baking pan and sprayed a light coat of the Pam Cooking Spray on it. Added the Biscuits and popped the pan in the oven. 
I’m baking them 400ᵒ F for 10 minutes. And as all Pillsbury Biscuits, they came out perfect. Flaky, hot, and ready to serve. Put the Biscuits on a paper towel lined plate and covered them with a towel until ready to use.
So as the Biscuits were baking I fried my Johnsonville Fresh Turkey Original Breakfast Sausage. I came across a package of these in the freezer. I laid the package in the fridge overnight to thaw. I 
love these Breakfast Links that Johnsonville has come out with! To prepare them I coated a skillet with Pam Non Stick Cooking Spray and heat the skillet to medium-low. Added the Sausage and cooked for 11 minutes, turning often, until the Sausage was browned. They cook up perfect and are delicious.
To serve everything, I got a bowl and added 2 Biscuits, topped them with the Gravy, and added a couple of the Sausage Links. Then chowed down! Everything is so good. Breakfast for Dinner is
fantastic! For Dessert/Snack later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Snyder’s Mini Pretzels with a Sprite Zero to drink.

Today’s Menu: Breakfast for Dinner – Thin Cut Pork Chops, Hash Browns, Scrambled Eggs, and Toast
For Breakfast this morning I toasted a Thomas Light 100% Multigrain English Muffin and topped the halves with Smucker’s Sugarless Blackberry Jam. Also had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. After Breakfast I had to go to the local Kroger up the road for a couple of items for Mom then stopped by McDonald’s to pick up Breakfast for her. Did a couple loads of laundry. Then got the cart out and did some yard work; cleaned off the deck and driveway areas and raked more leaves. Ton of leaves right now! For Dinner tonight Breakfast! I prepared Thin Cut Pork Chops, Hash Browns, Scrambled Eggs and Toast.
I had this same meal once before, so good had to have it again! I had 1 package of Thin Cut Pork Loin Chops I bought from Meijer in the freezer. I had sat the bag in the fridge overnight to thaw. Along with the Chops I’ll be using; 2 Eggs (Scrambled), Simply Potatoes Garlic and Herb Hash Browns, and 2 slices Aunt Millie’s Light Whole Grain Bread Buttered with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter.
To prepare the Chops; I seasoned with McCormick’s Smokehouse Maple Seasoning. First time trying this Seasoning. Some of the ingredients are Brown Sugar, Molasses, Garlic, Onions, and Paprika. Perfect for Pork, Chicken, or Salmon. Next i grabbed a skillet and gave a spray of Pam Non Stick Cooking Spray and added a tablespoon of Extra Light Olive Oil. Heated on medium heat. When the skillet was ready added the Chops. I just cooked them about 2 1/2 minutes per side. Being thin cut, it didn’t take them long to cook. It was a good size package so we froze the ones left. The Chops turned out delicious! Moist and the McCormick Smokehouse Maple Seasoning was perfect for the Pork.
Then for a side I prepared some Simply Potatoes Garlic and Herb Hash Browns. Seasoned them with Salt and Pepper and served them sprinkled with Sargento Reduced Fat Shredded Sharp Cheddar.
As both the Chops and Hash Browns were finishing I then made the Scrambled Eggs. As soon as the Hash Browns were done I removed them from the skillet and used this skillet for my Eggs. I used 2 Medium Size Eggs; also Sargento Reduced Fat Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Sea Salt, and Ground Black Pepper. To prepare them In a small bowl, whisked the Eggs and add just a splash of water. Added the Eggs, to the all ready heated skillet and cooked. Flipped the Eggs a couple of times and turned the heat off and finished the Eggs. When done I sprinkled the Scramble with some Sargento Reduced Fat Shredded Cheese. Finally I toasted a couple of slices of Aunt Millie’s Light Whole Grain Bread, lightly Buttered with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. Wow, nothing like a good Breakfast for Dinner! For Dessert later a bowl of Del Monte Sliced Peaches.
Simply Potatoes Garlic and Herb Hash Browns
Simply Potatoes Garlic and Herb Hash Browns have just the right amount of delicate seasoning and they fry up perfectly to a crisp, golden brown because they’re made from fresh potatoes. They’re always fresh, never frozen so you don’t have to worry about freezer burn. No need to peel, shred and season, we’ve done it all just for you.
* Fresh, never frozen, potatoes.
* Prepared for you to save time and energy.
* Seasoned with garlic and herbs

Today’s Menu: Biscuits and Gravy w/ Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links
To start my morning I toasted a couple of slices of Aunt Millie’s Light Whole Grain Bread and Scrambled some Egg Beater’s Egg Whites that I topped with a few shakes of Ortega Chipotle Taco Sauce and Sargento Reduced Fat Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese. I also had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Mom had the cataract taken off her left eye this morning. Mom’s cousin went with her for this one. So after Breakfast I headed off to Kroger for a few items for myself and Mom. Back home I got the leaf blower out and cleaned off the deck and driveway areas. Later did a load of laundry and cleaned the house. For Dinner tonight its Breakfast! I prepared Biscuits and Gravy w/ Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links.
I think I’m going with a Breakfast Menu for the next 2 or 3 Dinners, it just sounds good! Time to mix it up a bit for Dinner. I’ll be using Pioneer Peppered White Gravy Mix, Pillsbury Grands Junior Biscuits, and Johnsonville Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links. I also had a glass of Kroger 2% White Milk to drink.
To make the Gravy I’m using a packet of my favorite Gravy, Pioneer Peppered White Gravy Mix. So easy to prepare and absolutely delicious! To prepare it I get a small sauce pan and give it a light spray of Pam non Stick Cooking Spray w/ Olive Oil. I add a 1 1/2 cups of Cold Water to the pan and heat it on high to rolling boil. As that is heating up I preheated the oven for the Pillsbury Biscuits and I mixed the Gravy. In a measuring cup I added a 1/2 cup of Cold Water and then added the Gravy Mix to the Water and stirred until it smooth. When the Water was boiling I added the Gravy Mix. Turned down the heat a notch or two and started stirring the Mix and Water. Continued stirring until it started to thicken. Removed it from the heat and continued to stir it for about 30 seconds. I put the lid on the sauce pan and set it aside until I was ready to use it.
Time to bake the Pillsbury Grands Junior Biscuits! Took a small baking pan and sprayed a light coat of the Pam Cooking Spray on it. Added the Biscuits and popped the pan in the oven. I’m baking them 400ᵒ F for 10 minutes. And as all Pillsbury Biscuits, they came out perfect. Flaky, hot, and ready to serve. Put the Biscuits on a paper towel lined plate and covered them with a towel until ready to use.
Finally as the Biscuits were baking I prepared the Johnsonville Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links. Another delicious and easily prepared item. I buy these all the time, my favorite. I took a small skillet and sprayed it with the Pam Cooking Spray. Heated it on medium heat. Cooked them for 9 minutes, turning them several times. I love these Sausage Links! I prepared the whole package, Mom is having the Breakfast Dinner with me. Her surgery went great, now both eyes are done!
To serve everything, I got a bowl and added 2 Biscuits, topped them with the Gravy, and added a couple of the Sausage Links. Then chowed down! Everything is so good, Mom really enjoyed it she had not had Breakfast or Lunch. Also had a glass of 2% White Milk. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn with a Diet Peach Snapple to drink.

In the skillet with no oil I started to fry the Jennie – O Turkey Sausage Links and the skillet with Oil, I prepared the Simply Potatoes Hash Browns. When both were cooked I put each one into separate bowls and set aside.
Then I started toasting the Bread. Next in the skillet that had the Hashbrowns I fried my Egg. Seasoning the Egg with Morton’s Lite Salt and Ground Black Pepper. When the Toast was done I buttered both slices with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. As the Egg was ready I grabbed a plate and plated everything! And what a Breakfast Dinner!

Today’s Menu: Sausage and Cheddar Grits with Fried Egg and Wheat Toast
Had a light Breakfast of a Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin topped with Smucker’s Sugarless Blackberry Jam. After that I needed a few items from the store so I headed up to Kroger, wanted to go before the rains moved back in. Back home did a couple of loads of laundry for Mom and tided up around the house. Not much going on after that. The rain started about noon and continued the rest of the day. It’s a cool, gloomy, foggy, and rainy Saturday. For dinner tonight Breakfast! I prepared Sausage and Cheddar Grits with Fried Egg and Wheat Toast.
Came across the idea in the latest issue of Cooking Light. The original recipe and web link is at the end of the post. The original recipe makes 4 servings, I just made 1 serving. To make the dish I’ll need; Sea Salt and Pepper, 1 packet of Kroger Brand Instant Butter Flavor Grits, 1 serving Jennie – O Turkey Ground Breakfast Sausage, Sargento Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese, 1 Medium Egg.
To prepare the dish starting with the Grits; Just followed the easy instructions. Emptied the contents of 1 package of the Grits into a bowl. Then added a 1/2 cup of boiling water. Stir and served. Can’t get much easier that! The Grits were 100 calories, 1 fat gram, and 20 net carbs.
On to preparing the Turkey Sausage. I used Jennie – O Turkey Ground Breakfast Sausage instead of Pork Sausage, cutting the calories, fat, and carbs. I used a medium size skillet that I sprayed with Pam Cooking Spray and heated on Medium Heat. When the skillet was heated I added 1 serving of the Ground Turkey Breakfast Sausage. Stirred it occasionally with a wooden spoon (to crumble any large pieces) until fully cooked, about 14 minutes. Removed the Sausage from pan with a slotted spoon and set aside. Left what little accumulated fat in pan. While I had the pan hot and sausage out I also made 3 Turkey Sausage Patties for my Breakfast tomorrow, just reheat and serve in the morning. Then took the Grits, still in the sauce pan, and stirred in the Cheese and cooked Turkey Sausage.
I then grabbed a couple of slices of Klosterman Wheat Bread and toasted them. Topped both slices with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter.
Returned the frying pan with fat to medium-high heat. Cracked the Egg into frying pan. Cooked until the white was set but yolk are still runny, about 3 minutes. Spooned the grits mixture into a bowl and topped with the egg.
Served it with the Buttered Toast. One delicious Breakfast/Dinner! The Sausage and Cheese Grits were incredible and topped with the Runny Sunnyside Up Egg just added to the flavor. Saved calories, fat, and carbs by using; Jennie – O Ground Turkey Breakfast Sausage, Sargento Reduced Fat Shredded Cheddar Cheese, Medium Size Egg over a Large Size Egg, and using Wheat Toast over White Bread Toast, and using I Can’t Believed It’s Not Butter over Butter without sacrificing any flavor.

Today’s Menu: Breakfast for Dinner w/ Eggs, Hash Browns, Turkey Sausage, and Wheat Toast
Somewhat hotter and more humidity outside today. Partly Cloudy and a passing shower on and off all day. Had Breakfast and my morning workout, then finished up on some house cleaning. I wanted to get the car washed but weather not letting me today. I took a drive over to neighboring Fairfield to find out where my eye exam is located for Monday morning, checking for Glaucoma. Hope this turns out to be a false alarm, I’m dealing with enough I think. For dinner tonight it was a Breakfast menu! I prepared Eggs, Hash Browns, Turkey Sausage, and Wheat Toast.
Nothing like a hearty, healthy, and delicious Breakfast. So I prepared an Egg Sunnyside Up, seasoned with Sea Salt 
and Ground Black Pepper and pan fried in Canola Oil. I then prepared a couple of Jennie – O Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links. Just as delicious as Pork Sausage but healthier. While the Sausage Links were cooking in another skillet I prepared some Hashbrowns. I used Simply Potatoes Hash Browns. The last item for my Breakfast Dinner was what else but Toast! I toasted up a couple of slices of Klosterman Wheat Bread. Since I’ve started using Pita Bread so often my full loaf of Bread had been going stale on me before using it all. So I started using Klosterman Bread because you can purchase it in 1/2 loaves! Plus it’s a better tasting and fresher Bread than most other Wheat Breads. So I toasted 2 slices and buttered them with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. I also had a cold glass of 2% White Milk. Breakfast for Dinner is a good thing! For a dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.

One of America’s Favorites – Breakfast Sandwich

Breakfast sandwich
In North America, a breakfast sandwich is any sandwich filled with foods associated with the breakfast meal. Breakfast sandwiches are served at fast food restaurants and delicatessens or bought as fast, ready to heat and eat sandwiches from a store. Breakfast sandwiches can also be made from scratch in the home.
Breakfast sandwiches typically are made using breakfast meats (generally cured meats such as sausages, patty sausages, bacon, country ham, Spam and pork roll), breads, eggs and cheese. These sandwiches were typically regional specialties until fast food restaurants began serving breakfast. Because the types of bread common, such as biscuits, bagels, and English muffin were similar in size to a fast food hamburger buns, they made an obvious choice for fast food restaurants. Unlike other breakfast items, they were perfect for the innovation of the drive-through. These sandwiches have also become a staple of many convenience stores, that serve them as take-away items.
Although the ingredients for the breakfast sandwich have been common elements of breakfast meals in the English-speaking world for centuries, it was not until the 19th century in the United States that people began regularly eating eggs, cheese, and meat in a sandwich. What would later be known as “breakfast sandwiches” became increasingly popular after the Civil War, and were a favorite food of pioneers during American westward expansion. The first known published recipe for a “breakfast sandwich” was in an 1897 American cookbook.
There are several types of bread used to make breakfast sandwiches:
A bacon, egg and cheese sesame bagel
* Hard roll: The traditional breakfast sandwich of the northeast’s tri-state region of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. It is believed to be one of the earliest forms of the breakfast sandwich in the United States. It consists of a hard roll, eggs, cheese and sausage, bacon or ham. In New Jersey, a common breakfast sandwich is the Jersey Breakfast which consists of pork roll, egg, and cheese on a hard (Kaiser) roll.
* Biscuit: Consists of a large, or cat-head biscuit, sliced, on which meat, cheese, or eggs are served. Popular biscuits include: Sausage biscuit, bacon, tomato, and country ham. Fast food restaurants have put smaller versions of fried chicken fillets on biscuits to create chicken biscuits. Scrambled eggs and/or American cheese are often added.
* Bagel Sandwiches: Due to its Jewish connection, bagels often contain foods associated with the community, such as deli meats, lox or other smoked fish, and cream cheese.
* English muffin: Generally contains egg and cheese with either breakfast sausage or ham. Often served in U.S. fast food outlets such as McDonald’s and Starbucks.
* Toast: Toasted bread is one of the oldest forms of breakfast sandwich in America, and the closest to the original sandwich in form. While any number of items might be served on toast, eggs and bacon are the ones most associated with breakfast.
* Specialty breads: Mostly served by restaurant chains, there are other breakfast sandwiches that do not use one of the common breakfast breads used in the United States. Burger King uses a croissant to make a breakfast sandwich called the Croissan’Wich, or croissant sandwich, depending on the market. McDonald’s offers its traditional biscuit fillings on a sandwich made from maple flavored pancakes called a McGriddles. Dunkin’ Donuts has a waffle sandwich that is similar to the McGriddles. These can be found at American fast food franchises worldwide.
