My husband lived in Alabama for a few years and fell in love with Southern cooking. He especially loved their sausage gravy and biscuits. We really enjoy having these on a regular basis as the flavor is so rich and the meal is very filling.

Oh My. I can't believe how good that looks. Maybe this weekend...
Can you please give amounts of seasonings that you use in your recipes? I am a novice in the kitchen, and when you say to use thyme, salt, sage, pepper, but dont say about how much, I am lost.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, it’s good to have visitors. :)
For recipes where the seasoning is a critical main component, I give the exact amount. But for recipes that require just a sprinkling of a seasoning to add to the overall taste, I generally don’t give an exact measurement as each person has a different preference of their preferred level of seasoning. I edited this sausage gravy recipe adding some measurements for the seasonings for you to try. We were all novices in the kitchen once and I commend you for branching out and trying new recipes.
A great way to take a HUGE step forward with your cooking is to taste, taste, taste as you go (don’t wait to taste it until it’s 100% finished).
I would highly recommend that you try and start the habit of tasting while you cook. Make this sauce, add the seasonings, grab a clean spoon and taste it. Then sprinkle in a little more salt and grab another clean spoon and taste again. Keep adding seasonings and keep tasting. This will help you see the difference a spice makes to a dish and will help you see how heavily you prefer your food to be seasoned. This is the biggest link between following a recipe and learning how to cook. Please try it with this recipe and let me know what you think. I hope this helps.
Emily, I have been a frequent stopper on your blog for quite a while now, and have always loved it. But I recently have been having very strong reactions to MSG myself, and so I can't tell you how much I am grateful for your blog and your similar experiences. I am sure I will be visiting even more, now! Thank you for taking the time to make this blog! :)
