Who needs some breakfast inspiration for the weekend? If you’re thinking that this isn’t the healthiest breakfast you could choose….well ok you’re probably right, but whatever, YOLO!. Who wants to eat biscuits and gravy???

I grew up in the southern US but since I don’t have an accent you’d probably never be able to guess. One of the only things that I can think of at the moment that has stuck with me from living there is a love for southern classics. An occasional biscuits and gravy breakfast is something that we’ve always done in my family. It’s only every once in a while, and usually for special occasions or visitors. My family isn’t really big on eating breakfast since everyone, except me, is a night owl.

It doesn’t help that the culture here is ridiculously late. Seriously, in the summer when all the tourists are here, a typical dinner time is around 10pm and then people don’t go to bed until around 4 or 5 am. Basically, not till the sun starts to rise, it’s crazy. I think it’s because of our proximity to the south pole and the light hours being so long in the summer, but I still think it’s lame. I prefer to wake up with or before the sun not the other way around.

But, what I was getting at was that I made biscuits and gravy for breakfast a few days ago (well, in reality it was more like lunch) and it occurred to me that I’ve never shared it on the blog. Even if you already have a recipe for either biscuits or gravy you can always use a little fresh inspiration, right? I know I can never get too many recipe ideas.

I also found out recently, that this is not something you’ll find being served anywhere in Chile. I served to a Chilean friend of ours and he said he’d never tried or even seen it before. Definitely a North American thing. Ha, another instance of realizing how much we’re those crazy gringos. Hence the name of my little speck of the web.

Usually, I’ll try to serve it with some healthier side options to balance things. You know, like fruit, eggs, smoothies, anything that makes you feel better about clogging your arteries. And honestly, I can’t think of one healthy label to assign to this recipe other than major comfort food. It always makes people really happy when you do it, though! So it’s a plan; biscuits today, veggies tomorrow (maybe)!

As always, the recipe is available upon request, and I always give an upvote for the first one.
