Country Breakfast Satisfaction

Do you have a favorite breakfast? Pancakes over waffles or Omelettes over scrambled eggs? Maybe your morning fix is as simple as toasted bagels with cream cheese.

When it comes to breakfast, I love just about anything – except maybe Oatmeal. It’s a textural thing. Same with grits, although I do like Cream of Wheat. Go figure.

One of my all time favorites has to be Biscuits smothered in sausage gravy with sausage patties and scrambled eggs on the side. Talk about filling and oh so satisfying! Unlike other breakfast foods, have this country breakfast and you can go all day without feeling hungry. Oh I suppose if I ate enough pancakes, that would fill me up. But there’s a certain warm satisfaction that only a country breakfast of Biscuits and Gravy can impart.
