Here is on of my newest creations...

Breakfast today was a Biscuits and Gravy Souffle! Made in a spring form pan.

1 Roll of Pillsbury Biscuits
1 lb Breakfast Sausage (bulk not links or patties)
6 eggs
1/2 C Milk
Pepper
1 C. Shredded Cheese

Gravy:
Drippings from Sausage
1 T. Butter
2 T. Flour
1 C. Milk
Pepper
Salt

Spray the Spring Form pan with vegetable spray. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Brown the sausage in a frying pan. Place the Biscuits in the bottom of the spring form pan and press together to completely cover the bottom of the pan. Drain the Sausage while reserving the grease in the pan. Sprinkle the sausage on top of the Biscuits. Beat the eggs and milk together and add salt and pepper to taste. Pour the eggs over the sausage and sprinkle cheese (You can use any cheese you like!) on top. Bake for 35 - 40 min until eggs are firm and it has browned.

While "Souffle" is baking, melt the butter into the pan drippings in the pan and add the flour taking care to get all the good brown stuff off the bottom of the pan! Add the milk in thirds stirring between each addition. Salt and Pepper to taste. Add more milk if you would like a thinner gravy. Let boil stirring constantly until desired consistency. Take it off the burner and set aside until the "Souffle" is ready. Pour gravy over the completed "Souffle" once removed from the pan and serve!

IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME AGAIN!

MY BLACK CHRISTMAS TREE IN THE KITCHEN

MY FRIEND MARY ANN CALL HER KITCHEN THE "LAB"! THIS IS MY "LAB"!

A CLOST UP OF THE BLACK TREE TRIMMINGS!

MY TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS TREE IN THE LIVING ROOM!

A CLOSE UP OF THE TRIMMINGS!

It is Christmas time again....my second favorite time of the year....if it can't be Summer then Christmas runs a close second! I so much enjoy the decorating and cooking. I have begun to enjoy baking more and more. This year I will be making "goodie" Christmas bags for my friends and loved ones. They will include, Sweet Bread, Homemade Vanilla, A Cinnamon Ornament, fudge and cookies! The lucky ones will get Lefse as well! You will see me Blog a few Norwegian delicacies here as well! The pictures above are those of my two trees. The Black tree with crystal, silver and black ornaments is in my kitchen. The tradition, Red, Green and Gold ornaments is in my living room. The Cardinal ribbon is a nod to my mother. She loved birds. Mom passed away last February. She is missed so much, but her love continues with little reminders I receive daily....
