Just a Little County

No matter if it is in the kitchen or the great outdoors, it's time to put a little country in our lives.

Sausage Stuffed Biscuits

I'm not feeling quiet like myself today.  Been a little sick to my stomach...so yeah, I'm still in my PJ's at 3pm!    I think a lot of how I am feeling has to do with the Chantix.  I am smoking less everyday.  The taste of cigarettes and the smoke just make me want to.....I'll be nice, be sick.  I get that welcome break between 1:20pm and 10:20pm when hubby is at work and he's not here smoking.  I try to de-smoke the house during that time.  I didn't today.

Last night I had my first real vivid dream (Chantix will cause this).  I felt like I was in a Jimmy Hendrix music video!!!  All the pretty colors swirling around me.  I was waiting on the white daisy's to fall.  It didn't happen.  Those dreams I don't mind so much.  It's the murder, mayhem and snake dreams that really cause me to panic!  Thank God it wasn't THAT vivid.  Otherwise, I'm not sure I'd still be taking the medication.

It rained this morning.  Heard a little thunder.  It was so nice, so relaxing.  So ready for Fall to be here.  That may have contributed to the fact that I'm still in the PJ's.  It's just been a real lazy day.

We have to go to Oklahoma City in the morning.  I have an eye appointment with the Retinal Specialist at 9:30am.  Which means I have to be up around 4am, and we have to leave no later than 6:30am!  Normally, I am on top of trip planning.  Normally.  Not today.

Hubby woke me up at 7am.  I told him to do that so I could go to bed early and get a little sleep before the alarms blares at 4am!  I got my coffee and came to the living room to sit down and realized we had no food to take with us tomorrow!!  I got up, ran out the door (hubby was taking son to school) and up to the passenger back door and opened it.  I figured hubby would hear the door open.  NO!  He began to back out of the drive with me half way in the car!  I yelled, "WHOA!!!"  And of course, he stopped rather quickly and proceeded to tell me I scared him to death and that his heart was now racing 100 MPH!!!  My son laughed.  So did I.

I gave hubby instructions on what to get and came inside.  I do not, I repeat, DO NOT do mornings.  I never have.  I never will.  There is not enough coffee in the world to get me motivated before 10am.  I knew today would suck!!

I thought about tomorrow's trip.  Four in the morning is just too early to eat anything.  So, I needed to find something already in the house I could make, pack up and take with us tomorrow so we could have some breakfast.  I did a little research and took a lot of information and came up with my own version of a take with breakfast.  I wasn't sure how this would turn out, but how can you mess up biscuits, sausage and cheese?  Believe me, I could.



I was amazed at how easy and fast these were to make.  And they taste great, too!  Easy, portable and you could use bacon, ham, pepperoni or other meat in place of the sausage.

Sausage Stuffed Biscuits
Makes 20 biscuits

1/2 pound sage sausage
1 cup cheese
2 cans (10 count) buttermilk biscuits
1 mini muffin pan

Brown sausage in a skillet until no pink is left, then cook another 5-10 minutes on medium heat.  Drain and place in a bowl.  Add the cheese and stir to mix.
Open biscuits and one by one, roll/flatten with a rolling pin.  Scoop a teaspoon of sausage mixture and place in the center of the biscuit.  Bring all the side together and place in the muffin pan.
Heat oven to 400 degrees.  Place pan inside oven and cook for 8 minutes.  (Oven temps vary)  Remove from oven and let cool.  You can eat as is, with gravy or add some scrambled eggs.

They are great for on the go.  Can be made the night before and placed in microwave for a few seconds to heat.  I have breakfast....now for lunch.
