For the Love of Breakfast

Happy hump day! 
 
It's almost noon and I'm still in pj's with my hunk eating a little brunch, I thought I'd share the healthy but yummy recipe I whipped up! 
 
Today babe flies out to SoCal and we are spending the morning relaxing before we have to start adulting! We woke up late and he was craving biscuits and gravy, I love breakfast foods! I don't care if it's 4 in the morning or 11 at night, bring on the biscuits! Recently, I found a biscuits and gravy casserole that I loved and my biggest reason for doing a casserole instead of just making biscuits and gravy is that it's less mess, will hold for more than one day which means less waste! I tweaked this recipe to be healthier since I'm doing my 30-day challenge by using turkey bulk sausage, less salt, and reduced fat milk. I put this in an 8x8 or 9x9 square glass baking dish with a lid so I can store for easy breakfasts throughout the week! 

Ingredients:
  • 16 oz Jenny-O lean ground turkey breakfast sausage 
  • 8 pack Pillsbury Southern Style biscuits, I use the "butter-tastin'" kind
  • 3 cups of reduced fat milk
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray cooking oil in the bottom of the baking dish, cut biscuits into quarters and layer half on the bottom of the dish, bake for 15 minutes. Cook turkey over medium-high heat until brown. Whisk flour, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl and sprinkle it over the turkey. Mix until absorbed. Stir in milk, keep stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens. This may take about 5-10 minutes. The biscuits should be finished by this time, pour the sausage gravy over the semi-cooked biscuits and layer the top with the rest of the biscuits. Bake for minutes, tops of the biscuits will be golden brown. Allow to sit for 5 minutes then indulge! Sometimes I scramble eggs as well but this plenty by itself as well!

We Don't Talk About That...

Mental health has never been a "hot topic" or a common dinner conversation, it is usually dusted under the rug and left to fester til another day. Honestly, I'm writing this for my own mental health, rather my sanity. Since this virus took over our lives, being forced to live completely out of the norm has made mental health become a little bit more of a subject but not by much. Being bored and forced to be in the same house almost 24/7 can cause you to focus on things you wouldn't normally think about. This is also true for myself. Up until now, I haven't really discussed with anyone but close friends and family what I have struggled with for a long time. To me, you talk about it and everyone will think you're looney. Well, I'm over it and tired of hiding it so here goes! When I lived in Orlando, I had extremely high anxiety for the first time. I was basically alone full time miles away from my hometown. I tried so desperately to avoid facing what I...

I'm Tired AF

Evidently if you were born between 1981 & 1996, you're a millennial so I figured I would used the "AF" instead of swearing. Do you ever feel like you're just tired of just about everything? Well, that is me the past couple weeks! Just tired of being exhausted with the two consecutive low readings this week between 1 and 4am. Tired of stressing about finances, future & the other F word. Just wanting and needing a break before hitting the ceiling?? Well, welcome to my world this MONTH! Last week, I had one of those good cries. One of those turn the music up, run the bath, wine induced, good Lord save me cries. Where you feel sorry for yourself, want to change everything and move out of the country to your own island moments. This is something most women do on a random basis and, to be honest, it is extremely healthy. I mentioned the "Pancreas Pals" podcast last post and it has truly helped me so much mentally. https://pancreaspals.com/catego...

Lil' Tid Bits

Happy FriYay!!    All week I was trying to think of the best ways to show different tutorials. I toyed with the idea of a YouTube channel, I actually have one video currently posted that I need to properly edit. But for the most part, I truly believe that I am currently enjoying just photos so you'll have to be patient until my skills get a bit of fine tuning!  We tend to have "Crest Kid" smiles! I have my Beau home until Monday and then our insanity starts again. Being that this is still semi-new in our household, I still struggle with being alone a majority of the time. I believe that while you're alone, you're forced to face your own demons that normally aren't on the surface. Being busy has been the easiest way for me to avoid dealing with some personal issues. But, as it was evidently bound to, my mind finally place all these things in my focus and I was forced to face them. I don't know if this is just me, but independence has always had s...
