The First Snow with Sausage Gravy and Biscuits


Yesterday was the most glorious beautiful 70 degree fall day...and then we woke up to 27 degrees oh yeah and just a little bit of snow.  Gotta love Colorado!  Our first snow fall of the year came in with a vengeance.  Then I see it is going back up to the high 60's next weekend...what?!?!


As soon as we signed our contract for our new home in November, my husband spent the next eight months designing, redesigning and designing again, our new deck.  His CAD program was non-stop measuring and figuring the best way to make the most of our square footage and lifestyle needs and wants.


Finally last month, after 3 long painstakingly weeks of my husband's hard labor every night and weekend (and just 18 hours before our first family house guest arrived), our new deck was complete.  They came during the perfect weekend, because after they left, it has been straight rain, a 24-hour reprieve yesterday with sunshine, then today's white blanket.


Well, at least we got to enjoy five days of our new deck before winter came!





 Hard to believe this was our yard at move-in day.





 Yesterday's yard...bit of an improvement!
Still a lot more to do, but that has next summer written all over it.



When I woke up this morning and saw all the snow I immediately went to two things, sausage gravy and biscuits and a good movie.  Breakfast with The Magnificent Seven = perfect Sunday!

Sausage Gravy

1 pound Jimmy Dean's Breakfast sausage
1/3 cup flour
3 cups whole milk
1/2 t. Lawry's season salt
1 t. pepper
freshly baked southern biscuits (of your choosing)

Brown the sausage over medium-high heat until no longer pink.  Reduce heat to medium-low.  Sprinkle on half the flour and stir so that the sausage is evenly coated and flour is cooked off.  Pour in milk and stir constantly.  

Cook the gravy until it starts to thicken.  Sprinkle in the seasoned salt and pepper and continue to cook until your desired thickness.  If it gets too thick, just add a little more milk.

Spoon the grave over freshly baked biscuits.  Curl up in your favorite blanket and enjoy!
