I'm a pretty good planner for our weekly meals (or at least I thought I was...) and usually do my shopping once a week for fresh foods like milk, bread, fruits and vegetables.
Well this week I either miscalculated or we over ate because I woke up on Saturday morning and we didn't have any bread, only a small amount of milk, no fruit or even cereal! Not very many ingredients to enjoy breakfast, and I do love my weekend breakfasts.
But luckily Saturday was a busy day and we just skipped breakfast (cause we had to...) and went about our business. I intended to stop by the store but things didn't work out and I ran out of time. Having a stocked pantry and a freezer helped me with lunch and dinner, so no worries there.
Then comes Sunday morning...still no bread, fruit, or cereal, and a small amount of milk. I decided to take matters in my own hands and make my mom's homemade biscuits. Biscuits were a staple growing up and they are the perfect substitute for a loaf of bread. Great for breakfast, or put some ham on it and you have a wonderful sandwich, and you can serve with dinner as a roll. What's better?
Mom's Simple Southern Biscuit recipe is soooo easy. You only need 3 ingredients and they make light and fluffy biscuits that are to die for! Can't you just imagine sinking your teeth into a hot, fluffy biscuit with butter or jam on it? My mouth is watering now....
So the bread dilemma is solved, and I feel lazy. Wonder if I can go another day or two without going to the store! (that will be a test!)
Enjoy!
