What's For Breakfast, Mom?!

It’s hard to be creative every day with meals... and I love to cook!

Breakfast on the run, lunch in a brown paper bag…
Today was a special treat and my son Brian decided biscuits with gravy
was up there on his list of favorites.
Here’s my healthy version of this hearty breakfast entree...
Brown ground turkey sausage (a little bit healthier?) and transfer it to my cuisinart for a quick pulse. Into the sausage pan went some flour then added skim milk and a dash of soy sauce. When the sauce was thick and smooth, I added back the sausage and simmered.
The biscuits- two scant tablespoons of butter, flour (I used half whole wheat half white and lots of ground flax seed), salt, baking soda and powder... pulsed in the cuisinart, then moistened with fat free plain yogurt and skim milk, spooned onto a baking sheet to bake 20 minutes at 400 degrees. Voila!!

There’s enough left over to turn today’s sausage ‘gravy’ into tomorrow’s delicious savory omelet and I’ll toast a biscuit and lather it with strawberry preserves.

Ah, tomorrow is another day!
