"One should not attend even the end of the world without a good breakfast." -- Robert A. Heinlein
OK. So I have created a summer bucket list for my kids to do. This is the first summer that they are home alone all day while both parental units are working. I don't want them to get bored, and I certainly don't want them fighting and ready to kill each other by the time I walk in the door at the end of the day.
So I thought, why don't I create a bucket list for myself. I have taken each of my Pinterest boards and selected one pin that I would like to complete by the end of the year. I have taken some liberties with this - I'm not going to try to complete a St. Patrick's Day or Valentine's Day pin by the end of the year (since it is July). So I've allowed myself a few allowances (can I use the same work twice in a sentence?).
It started today. Happy Independence Day everyone. (It started as a rainy day here in Virginia. I told my boys that our countries forefathers are crying over the condition our country is in today, but I digress.) Nobody is at work. Nobody is at school. I decided it was the perfect time to try a new breakfast item. Everybody in my family loves breakfast meat, so I thought Sausage and Cheese Biscuits by Taste and Tell would be perfect.
What I loved about this recipe is that you make these biscuits from scratch. Don't get me wrong - I am all about the ease and convenience of mixes and starters and such. But sometimes I wonder how much more difficult would it be to make it from scratch, and know exactly what's in your food. So, these were perfect. The hardest part? Cutting the butter into the flour. Note to my mother-in-law: a pastry cutter would be a great gift! I would get much more use out of it than a frozen drink mixer. (No, no, no. It wasn't THAT kind of frozen drink mixer ladies.) Other than that, super easy.
So hubby and I thought they were yummy. The boys complained that there was not enough sausage in them so B proceeded to cook the rest of the sausages that I did not use. The good news is there are leftovers so I get to take one for breakfast tomorrow!
This gets a family score of 3 stars - liked it, but not going to make this every week.
