About this Cook
I've had the good fortune to be a stay-at-home-mom for the past 25 years. I have 9 children ranging from age 26 being my oldest to age 4 being my youngest. I married my best friend and soul mate and we look forward to growing old together. Life is always an adventure around here but I wouldn't trade for anything.

Bread Pudding II
I have been making this for years but never bothered to measure anything. I am so glad to see someone took the time to measure & share the recipe. It's a great way to use up all your stale bread! I do everything the same only I use extra bread and make it in a 9x13" pan (I have a large family). Over the years I have played around with this & sometimes I've added pecans & apples, fresh blueberries, or cran-raisins. I've even swirled strawberry preserves through it. I often bake it with a simple crumb topping on it too. But my kids favorite way to eat it is to add maple syrup over it & they have it for breakfast. Just pour over a generous amount of your favorite maple syrup over the bread pudding right when it comes out of the pan. Let it sit for a few minutes so it soaks down into the bread. YUM! It tastes amazing! My thanks to Ellen for sharing this recipe that I've enjoyed for years with everyone!

Super Sausage Gravy
This was easy to make and tasted good! I doubled the recipe because I have a large family & added sauteed garlic to the gravy for added flavor. It still needed a little extra something so I added 1 chicken bouillon cube and thinned the gravy out with another cup of milk. I used a total of 2-lbs. sausage, 5 cups of milk, 4 cloves of garlic, 1 bouillon cube and only pepper to taste. Don't need the added salt if you use the bouillon. My suggestion, make your flour, butter roue first letting the flour cook for a few minutes before you add the milk (this gets rid of the flour taste)... then proceed to make the gravy, adding the milk slowly. When gravy is done, add the sausage back to the gravy and let simmer for 10-15 minutes till all the flavors meld. I made this with [Fluffy Biscuit] recipe found on here! Sausage Biscuits-n-Gravy is a wonderful comfort food for the whole family! Thanks!

Fluffy Biscuits
These biscuits were amazing! They fluffed up nicely for me and they tasted so good. I made these biscuits to go along with the [Super Sausage Gravy] recipe found on here. Sausage Biscuits-n-Gravy is a great comfort food and these biscuits fit the bill!
