November Edition: My thoughts on…Gravy
Gravy…
Why wouldn’t you? I’ll take that and that and everything else with a side of gravy, please and thank you. I wanted to change my thoughts up this month because everything around me feels so heavy. I needed something to feel lighter, so here we are.
The thing is, though, gravy doesn’t make anything lighter! It literally makes everything you put it on…heavier! Let’s take a moment to think about some of our favorite things to cover in gravy.
The obvious (and my least favorite) mashed potatoes. Seriously, what a waste of good carb intake. Blah! If I have to eat them, there better be some damn good peppered white gravy available.
Chicken fried steak… c’mon. I don’t know if it gets any better than country gravy on fried meat.
Just kidding, biscuits! My oldest child’s all time favorite meal is biscuits and gravy. We eat it so often for dinner that she just recently learned it’s actually a breakfast dish and her mind was blown.
I don’t want to leave out brown gravy, it has purposes…I think. Oh yes, Poutine. That’s it, the only dish I love with brown gravy.
I’ll end with my absolute favorite dish including gravy and a piece of friendly advice that I like to share around this time of year.
The dish; the bottom of a very large biscuit, some meat (sausage or chicken fried steak), cheese, an over easy fried egg, and a large amount of country gravy. Are you drooling? I am.
Here’s my advice, you can’t trust someone who diets during the holidays. If you’re in that wonderful food line and you see someone counting things like calories, macros, carbs, and avoiding the dessert table… keep your distance. ;)
