Biscuits and (Veggie) Sausage Gravy


This was one of those "stick to your ribs" kinds of dishes, but really, really good. We made the biscuits from scratch using a random recipe we found online that didn't require shortening. They were good, but the recipe was halved leaving us with only a few small biscuits. It was about right though. For the gravy, we made a quick roux in a small saute pan, mixed in unsweetened soy milk, salt, pepper, and Morningstar Farms veggie sausage patties that had been crumbled. The sausage was actually the kind with the maple flavoring cooked in, so it was extra good. To enjoy, we just dipped and ate. Yum!

Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes

Nope. Not very good. Not lemony enough, wrong texture. I still had four of them though... Although now I'm thinking maybe they weren't great because I used oil instead of butter...hmm...

Favorite post-run breakfast!



Blueberry Eggos, peanut butter, strawberries, bananas and syrup. Yum! (good with vanilla yogurt too!)

Blueberry Pancakes


These blueberry pancakes were made using a basic pancake batter recipe we found online (no shortening), to which we added blueberries and a touch of vanilla. They may not have that boutique breakfast joint look, but they're dang tasty.

Omelettes! For Dinner!


Yay breakfast for dinner! I sauteed onion for our omelettes which also had tomato and american cheese slices. (I also had mushrooms on mine.) Rye bread with butter along with Morningstar bacon completed the meal. It may not be Waffle House, but GOOD!
Guess which on of us had strawberry jelly on the toast ;)

Granola

So...this recipe was yummy but would have been better if I hadn't burnt it...do not make granola when you're also doing ten other things. I didn't have time to keep going back and stirring it. Also, I was cutting the recipe in half but forgot halfway through so it has half of everything except I put in all of the spices. I didn't put in any dried fruit either because I knew I was going to eat it with fresh fruit anyway. It made my house smell like apple pie though! I've been searching for a good peanut butter granola recipe, does anyone have one?

I just made the dead line. This is turkey kielbasa with peppers,onions and tomato sauce. It was very tasty. I had mine with no bread. You have to look hard to see the kielbasa.
