Cooking my husbands requests for the day. Biscuits with tomato gravy for breakfasts & eggs. Red Beans with conecuh sausage over rice & cornbread for dinner. Can you tell I am from south Louisiana? We wemt to my Moms last week and had the traditional cornbread dressing so today is just for him. Tomorrow, I am back on my low carb plan and hopefully nothing else involving major eating until Valentines!

Not heard of tomato gravy. My husband is big on chocolate gravy on biscuits, or sour cream/sugar on biscuits. And of course wilted lettuce.

However we are having spagetti as my teen works in a few hours. Cinnamon rolls for breakfast. It's a tradition.

Honestly, I am trying to eat healthy for my holidays...yes i know we can "indulge" but i still chose to make good decisions for my holiday meal.

Breakfast: 3eggs scrambled, thomas bagel thin-wheat
Lunch: something light...
dinner: cornish game hen, yams, spinach, cauliflower, small serving of stuffing.

there is only 3 of us for dinner, so i'm not making a whole lot of food.

I just love this! What an awesome southern bell!

Thanks, I hope you had a great day. We have !

Love spaghetti too and I know about chocolate gravy. Most folks think it would be greasy but ours is like choc. sauce for ice cream. The tomato gravy is a traditional roux of flour & oil, browned until caramel color, then add tomatoes, salt & pepper & water & let it cook until it loses the pasty flour taste. It can be seasoned with onions & bell peppers & served for a dinner meal over rice or creamed potatoes with meatballs or meatloaf. I came from a large family & Mom fed us lots of biscuits & gravy!
