3. Homemade BIG Biscuits and CHOCOLATE GRAVY!
If you are from the South, more than likely, you know EXACTLY what chocolate gravy is and have found memories of your mama or your grandma making this for you as a child. If you're not from the South, you may be wondering what it is. Well, it's exactly what it sounds like...chocolate in gravy form.

Chocolate Chip Biscuits
Add in the other ingredients and using a pastry blender or fork, mix everything together well. Don't worry if there are still butter pieces, they'll melt in the oven.
As soon as you have a dough, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll out. Roll the dough out to about 1/4" thickness, use biscuit cutter to cut the biscuits out. We actually used the ring of a mason jar and it works great!
Now place biscuits onto an un-greased cookie sheet. Place the biscuits so they are just touching each other, and they will rise higher than if they were not touching at all. Bake for 8 minutes.

Delicious Breakfast Recipes to Start off Your Day
Good morning! Breakfast is considered to be the most important meal of the day and our family loves breakfast so much that we love having breakfast for supper quite often. If you love breakfast as much as we do, why not have some breakfast recipes that are extra delicious? Here are 12 of the best breakfast recipes here on my blog.
These Blueberry Biscuits are amazing. They are not too sweet and they rise up beautifully. Not only do they taste fabulous but they are so pretty to look at too.
2. Homemade Glazed Cinnamon Apple Fritter Recipe.
These apple fritters fry up perfectly. Warm, sweet and just the right amount of cinnamon! The batter turns out perfectly so you can make nice and fluffy fritters similar to a dumpling or you can also make them nice and flat...your choice.
3. The Best Homemade Sausage Gravy Recipe.
Homemade sausage gravy is a true Southern classic breakfast dish and one of my all-time favorite foods. My son Ronny and I could eat it every single day and never grow tired of it. My sausage gravy recipe is easy to make and tastes delicious so there is no reason for it not to go into your weekly rotation.
4. Glazed Chocolate Chip Biscuits.
These chocolate chip biscuits are tender, light, and full of chocolate chips and topped with a sweet glaze. Southern biscuits just don't get any more delicious! The chocolate chips in these biscuits give them the perfect touch of sweetness. The glaze on top adds even more sweetness and you could drizzle on a little or a lot depending on how sweet you want your biscuit.
5. Extra Light & Fluffy Homemade Buttermilk Pancakes.
I LOVE Pancakes. My youngest son Ronny and I both do; whereas Bub prefers Waffles. Besides loving the taste of pancakes, I like that they can be made with common ingredients that I can always find in my pantry so they can be whipped up anytime!
6. Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake.
One of my hubby's all time breakfast favorites is my French Toast Casserole. He absolutely loves it. It is simple to make and really tastes great.
8. Chocolate Chip Drop Biscuits
