I've realized, there's no way to make sausage gravy & biscuts look pretty in pictures. Who cares, it's good! It's our favorite breakfast (or breakfast for dinner) and it's so quick to make!

Throw your biscuits in the oven and brown your sausage. Then cover the cooked sausage in a light coating of flour and stir to coat it all. Next, add 2 cups of milk and bring that to a boil. Take it down a notch and let it simmer 5 mins. Boom, breakfast in less than 20 minutes.

Featuring tomorrow's leftover lunch:
Roasted chicken & asparagus with brown rice & couscous! It was as simple as setting the oven at 375, putting seasoned chicken in one pan and the cheese covered asparagus in the other and roasting for 30 minutes while the rice cooked on the stovetop. Minimal effort, maximum flavor.
