2 packages Sausage Gravy Mix (makes 2 cups per package)
12 eggs

In large saucepan, make gravy according to directions. Add sausage to gravy, set aside.
In large Stainless Steel Bowl (check out our Stainless Steel Bowl Set item #1735) whisk eggs, evaporated milk and salt. Soft scramble eggs with the butter. In a Stoneware Rectangle Baker layer gravy, eggs, gravy, eggs, gravy, then top with biscuits.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes at 350 degrees until biscuits are golden brown.

Never Forget


I will never forget 9/11/01 and I know there are many that are just like me. Whether we lost a loved one or not does not matter for the grief we all felt and the moment ingrained in our memories forever will be there forever . The moment that the first plane went into the tower with no one expecting that to happen and then just moments later with the second plane hitting we heard of 2 more planes in the air and where we they heading? I was at work with many other individuals that are close to my heart and our boss would keep us updated and we were all glued to the tvs as our daily work continued on. The devestation would continue on for days and the moment of fear would lead to wonderment. Now as the unrest of what will happen next with the area as the U.S. once agains debates about what to do I pray for our country and our leaders

Black Eyed Susans


Here in southern Illinois you can find black eyed susans growing in fields. They are beautiful to me.

Black Eyed Susan have been here in North America for quite some time. Being a native wildflower it has become popular with home flower gardens. The Black Eyed Susan Plant comes in two varieties (1) bush and (2) vine. They come in glorious fall colors of yellow, orange, and gold. If you love flowers but don't have a lot of time to care for them then the Black Eyed Susan is for you.

Black Eyed Susan are grown from seed and if started early in the spring you may be lucky to get blooms the first season. Best to plant the seeds shallow in the soil as early in spring as possible or plant in fall to have flowers next year. The plant will grow  tall with stems as tall as 2 to 3 feet tall. After the flowers are established they will be easy to care for. Resistant to insect and disease
