The hubs loves breakfast foods – and if we go out for breakfast loves going to a diner and getting biscuits & gravy. I ran across this recipe and gave it a try for the diner style breakfast he enjoys but at home. It was a hit. He really enjoyed it and I now have something to fall back on should I not want to get dressed some morning but he wants diner food!
