The Best Sausage Gravy

Eric loves biscuits and gravy. I wanted to find a recipe that is quick and easy, but also better than the packets from the grocery store.

This is definitely it!

Ingredients:

1 pound hot sausage

4 tablespoons flour

1/2 tsp garlic 

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

3 cups milk

Directions:

Brown sausage in skillet. 

In a small bowl, mix dry ingredients together.

Once meat is cooked thoroughly, sprinkle dry mix in sausage, mix until dry ingredients are absorbed, add milk.

Stir until your spatula leaves a trail behind it like this:

Serve with biscuits and enjoy!

Ravioli Mushroom Alfredo

I attempt to make a meatless meal each week. I also like to make at least one super quick, simple meal. This one is both, it’s also delicious! 

When I made this meal, I was glad it was on the menu. I had been up since 2 am with Sophia after she had a seizure, and I was not in the mood for a long drawn out dinner. This one took maybe 20-25 minutes to prepare. It’s creamy, delicious, and you don’t miss the meat in this dish, thanks to the mushrooms. Also, while boiling my water, I like to sprinkle some basil in the water instead of salt, it gives a nice flavor to any pasta. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Ingredients:

1 24oz bag frozen ravioli

1 14.5oz jar alfredo (or homemade)

2 cups sliced mushrooms

1 tsp crushed garlic

1/2 tablespoon onion powder

1 tsp salt

1 tsp Italian seasoning 

Splash of white cooking wine (optional)

1 tbsp olive oil

Directions:

Heat olive oil in skillet, and add crushed garlic. Let saute until well blended.

Add mushrooms to skillet and spices. Cook down until soft, and add white wine. Cook for 1-2 minutes.

Add alfredo, turn heat down, and stir for another 1-2 minutes.

Toss ravioli in the skillet and combine.

Serve with grated parmesan, and enjoy!
