Sausage Gravy: a Home-Ec 101 Basic Recipe

October 22, 2020 By Heather Solos 1 Comment As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

My kids call biscuits and gravy their favorite struggle meal. For me, it’s my favorite I-don’t-have-enough-energy-to-deal-with-anything-meal.

Broccoli Cheese Frittata

Heather says:

We consume a lot of eggs in our household, currently consisting of three adults and three children.
