Mom's Biscuits and Gravy Recipe
I was asked by my boys to share a recipe with you. The one I selected, Biscuits and Gravy, takes me back to the days when I had all seven of my boys under the same roof. Though those days are gone, and my boys are now grown men with families of their own, I’m reminded of those special days when I'd hear the words "is dinner ready yet?!?!" echo in the background more times than I can count.

Ingredients

Directions

As I look back on our very early years, this mom didn’t have access to all the clean nutrient-dense ingredients that I have today. When a recipe like this called for sausage I would often replace it with grass-fed hamburger or beef sausage because, at that time, beef was the only clean meat produced on our family farm.

Thankfully, a lot has changed since then and regenerative farming practices have grown and are flourishing insomuch that we now can offer all my personal favorites in our on-farm store and on our website. It fills my heart to know that so many families across America are teaming together quality ingredients in flavorful recipes that nourish their families.

Yes, I will admit, that my cooking may not seem high-end compared to some, but the sacrifices we make for clean wholesome ingredients make all the difference! I hope you enjoy this simple yet satisfying recipe.

God’s very best to you and your family from a mother who understands the sacrifices we make to fuel our children with REAL whole foods. John 3:16

How to Make the Gravy

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the breakfast sausage and break it down. 
  2. When the sausage in browned, add in your butter and flour. Mix evenly throughout the sausage. 
  3. Add in the milk and cream, mixing continuously until mixture begins to thicken - add more milk if needed. Season with salt and ground pepper (can use organic gravy seasoning as well). 
  4. The gravy is ready to be served atop biscuits.

How to Make the Biscuits

You can use canned biscuits or a biscuit mix if desired for a quicker biscuit. ;) Or, follow this simple biscuit recipe below:

  1. Cube 1/2 cup butter and place in refrigerator until ready for use.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups all purpose flour, 1 1/2 tbs baking powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp salt, and mix thoroughly. Add in your cold butter and cut it into flour mixture with a pastry cutter or blender until the butter becomes pea-sized.
  3. Add in 1 cup of cold milk minus 2 tbsp (add in later if needed) and stir until mixture comes together (do not over-mix).
  4. Turn out dough onto a floured surface, pat dough into a rectangle, fold a second time and pat into a 5x10 rectangle with a 3/4" thickness.
  5. Cut out biscuits with a cutter or a mason jar head and place on a prepare baking sheet. Bake at 450 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with butter and serve. Yields 10 biscuits.

Bacon Jam Pork Sliders with Dill Pickle Slaw

I had heard of this thing called bacon jam a couple years ago and it definitely intrigued me. Don’t ask me why it took me that long to actually make it myself - trust me, after tasting it, I’m wondering the same thing. Bacon jam is a great and simple way to elevate the flavor of your recipes. In this case, I am using it as a topper for my pork sliders. Pork and more pork. Need I say more? It’s the perfect balance between sweet and savory. The caramelized texture and rich flavor makes it the best condiment for so many different dishes, sweet and savory alike. Pro tip, put it on top of some vanilla ice cream and your life will be complete. Bacon jam is technically a relish, so store it in an air tight jar in the refrigerator and enjoy for weeks to come. And you WILL enjoy it! This recipe is one of a kind and a combination of some of my favorite flavors. You really can't go wrong with bacon or dill pickle, am I right? The slaw really brings a refreshing element to this recipe and in my opinion completes it, but if it's not your gig, you can do away with it. I used ground pork and made small patties for this recipe, but you can most certainly substitute pulled pork as well. With that said, get to cooking so you can get to eating! Enjoy!

Spencer's Lamb Minestone Soup

You may know Spencer from seeing him completing chores with the farm operations team, but around here he's also known for stellar cooking skills. Each month, Spencer graciously prepares a team meal on a day we all look forward to that we call "feastivities." Spencer has filled our bellies (and hearts!) with many delicious meals these past several months, and today we share one of our favs - Lamb Minestrone Soup.

Rosemary Dijon Chicken Thighs

When it comes to making meals for my family, I try to prepare dishes that are elevated in flavor, but will also be something that will interest my toddlers (and sometimes even my husband for that matter haha). Kids don’t always care for the fancy foods, but I truly enjoy introducing new ingredients to my family, and incorporating different elements to my recipes. So finding that balance is my mission in the kitchen. Chicken is like the most blank canvas you can get in the culinary world. It can so beautifully adapt to any flavor profile and can be cooked many different ways. It’s one my of most favorite proteins and I could eat it every day, truly. This recipe envelopes simple home-style cooking, while representing refined and gourmet flavors. The rosemary brings an earthy freshness, while the Dijon mustard adds a tangy kick. It’s completed with a rich buttery sour cream that just brings the whole dish together. If you’re looking for a perfectly balanced dish, this is it. I hope you enjoy!
