Skinny Biscuits & Gravy Cups

July 16, 2021 Amanda Plott

Biscuits and gravy cups? That’s right! Biscuit dough cups that are filled with an easy to make homemade sausage gravy that makes it all perfectly grab-and-go friendly while also being great for the kiddos! While these Skinny Biscuits & Gravy Cups are cute and even impressive, they are actually really simple and easy to make with just a handful of ingredients.

Since there isn’t a whole lot you can do to lighten up this biscuit part (outside of making your own biscuit dough), I did just about everything I could to make the gravy better-for-you. I started the gravy off with a lean turkey breakfast sausage and then swapped in almond milk for regular milk. I also used a reduced fat cheddar in place of regular…

Healthified Cheddar Bay Biscuits

It’s the first day of summer vacation. I officially have a middle schooler! That’s just crazy to me. You know what else is crazy to me? How easy and cheesy these Healthified Cheddar Bay Biscuits are! You know what bay biscuits are, right? Those tasty crumbly cheesy biscuits they have at that popular seafood chain restaurant. These are my healthified take and those!

How are they healthified? I’m glad you asked! I subbed in some whole wheat to start off with. I also used a reduced fat cheese to lower the calories a bit. Same thing with almond milk in place of regular. And you know what else? Natural sweetener for sugar…

It doesn’t get much simpler than biscuits and gravy, but here today we have biscuits and a homemade gravy. Now, I know what you’re thinking. Homemade gravy? That sounds hard! Actually - It’s totally not! It’s super easy to make and tastes GREAT. So ditch the prepackaged BS!

This gravy is made easily with breakfast sausage that’s cooked up, tossed with flour, and then brought to a simmer with some milk. Yep. That’s it. easy peasy, right? This ENTIRE recipe only needs 4 ingredients, plus salt and pepper…

Vegetarian Biscuits & Gravy Breakfast Casserole

January 6, 2021 Amanda Plott

As is with most New Years, I don’t tend to change my diet up a whole hell of a lot. Though one thing that I do try and do is eat less meat. Especially less red meat. Thankfully these days there are a lot of meatless and meat free options out there. Even when it comes to sausage! That’s why I was able to make this casserole vegetarian with one simple swap.

This Vegetarian Biscuits & Gravy Breakfast Casserole is an absolutely delicious way to serve biscuits and gravy, or even have it on hand as a meal prep for breakfast through the week. (Which is what I did!) Really you could use any sausage you want, vegetarian or otherwise…

Biscuits & Gravy Monkey Bread

December 7, 2020 Amanda Plott

This is monkey bread like no other. Unlike most monkey bread, this one is a savory option that combines the deliciousness of biscuits and gravy with the convenience of monkey bread! It takes no time at all to toss together, is super easy to make, and is great for feeding the family breakfast or brunch on the weekend.

Just as is traditional with monkey bread, this one starts out with biscuit dough, layers in cooked sausage and some shredded cheese, then more biscuit dough. It’s all topped off with a homemade easy to do sausage gravy; baking up to perfection in less than an hour!…

Sweet Potato Biscuits

Who says Fall has to be all about pumpkins anyway? Sweet potatoes deserve some love too! These Sweet Potato Biscuits are easy to make and just about as delicious as biscuits can get. They’re fluffy and light and the perfect addition to any Fall inspired meal, be it breakfast, brunch, or dinner! I topped mine with some apple butter and served them with fresh berries as breakfast, but they would be damn good with some gravy or served alongside a pot roast.

These biscuits would be super easy to make vegan too! How? Just sub in some vegan butter for the regular butter and bing-bang-boom, you’ve got vegan biscuits!…
