Biscuits & Gravy

This is your basic run of the mill biscuits & gravy recipe, but I wanted to post it because I have a great recipe for leftovers. You can click this link for that recipe: Sausage Gravy Pasta. Even though these are basic and easy, I make them all the time at my house because my kids LOVE them...well, and so do I!

4 Buttermilk Biscuits (we like Pillsbury frozen biscuits best)
1 tube Jimmy Dean Sausage
2 Cups Milk
2-4 Tablespoons Flour

1. Prepare biscuits as instructed on package.
2. Brown sausage in skillet. As soon as sausage is completely brown, turn to medium heat.
3. Add flour by the tablespoon, stirring constantly. Let the flour turn BROWN before adding another tablespoon (if you don't, your gravy will taste like flour).
4. After you have added enough flour to make the gravy as thick as you like, add milk and stir with whisk.

Serve over biscuits.

Spaghetti Pasta Salad

I wanted to post a couple of leftover recipes. I really have a hard time with leftovers and can only eat them if they are completely transformed into something that doesn't resemble what they were originally. This is one of my favorite things to do with leftover spaghetti noodles. In fact, I usually try to make extra pasta just to make sure we have enough left over to make this. It could not be any easier.

Cooked Spaghetti

Tomatoes, chopped

Cucumber, chopped

Can of sliced Olives

Zesty Italian Salad Dressing

Salad Supreme

Combine all ingredients in whatever quantities desired. Serve warm or cold.
