Today's Brekkie: This morning was a "production cooking" event to get some morning staples prepared for later and easy consumption. To include: Brekkie #Sausage, #CountryGravy, #Biscuits, and #CheesyGrits!

While grits and sausage are cooking mix your biscuit dough ..or.. cheat and crack one of those Pillsbury DoughBoy canned biscuits on the counter edge (mine usually explode in my hand just pulling the outer label off ... yes, I cheated today b'cuz the Food Co-op had recently included a can of biscuits in my delivery, so I used it!), cut and position dough on pan and preheat oven (I use a countertop convection oven but you can use the big ov
