Biscuits and soy sausage gravy

Ok well I actually started cooking these meals a couple of weks ago so... I have to think back a little. Right now I can't remember all of them so let's pretend that the first day was biscuits and gravy.

So I am really not from the South, have never lived there, or really even visited much. I think there are some folks in Indiana who believe they are part of the South, maybe even a few in Illinois. I suppose if you count that then maybe I have some connection. In trying to be creative about new meals that my family could eat, and maybe would all try, I thought of biscuits and gravy especially since my picky 4 yo tends to really like soy sausage and biscuits (I didn't put his sausage in the gravy)

So the recipe. Well hmm. I followed a standard biscuit recipe and the same for the gravy. I think I used 2T flour and 2T butter with about 4c of vegetable broth to make the gravy in the pan that I cooked the soy sausage in and then crumbled up some of the sausages into the gravy. I used LightLife sausages they come either 4 or 6 in a bag in the freezer section of the "natural food" part of our grocery store (I just looked it up and there are 6 in a package). There are lots of other kinds of soy sausage though and I am sure any would do, I think my family has liked all of the varieties we have tried.

My husband and I both liked it. The baby thought it was good. My 4yo liked the biscuits and the sausages but was "yucked out" by the gravy. Although I think when forced to try it he discovered it wasn't horrible. So all in all I would say this is a keeper meal. With a salad and maybe another vegetable it isn't too bad, and pretty fast to make even doing the biscuits from scratch.
