Where did the phrase “fat and happy” come from? From where I stand, I can tell you that it’s not true. I know that I am not alone in saying I have spent this pandemic baking, cooking, and eating anything my heart desired. Quite frankly, I feel miserable!
Last week I cleaned out the cabinets and the refrigerator! I am taking control of this madness! Of course, I turned to the way of eating that I can rely on best, and that is low-carb.
Growing up in the south, I have had my share of homemade biscuits and gravy. That has always been one of those things I want my mom to make when I go home. Biscuits and gravy are one of those comfort foods that makes all with the world right again.
This recipe comes from the very first Keto cookbook I ever bought, Simply Keto by Suzanne Ryan. She did a jam-up job creating this recipe! These Keto Gravy and Biscuits are one of my favorite “good for me” breakfasts! The biscuits alone are nothing to write home about but topped with this tasty gravy, they are incredible. I have never had anyone turn down these biscuits and gravy, health-conscious or not.
