On Easter morning, my daughter who is home from college wanted me to “whip” up a breakfast before church. Knowing what a busy week we had and that I did not plan anything as I normally do, I went to Pinterest for inspiration. If you are not on Pinterest, you really should be for nothing other than recipe inspiration. I, as said before seldom follow a recipe exactly. It must be in my DNA, as my mom never did either. So I went to our fridge/freezer and searched for ingredients. I always have JR breakfast sausage on hand in the freezer. By the way, you should too! You can do so many things with it! Next, I usually have Grands biscuits and/or crescent rolls on hand as well. Again, so many different recipes using these items for any meal. This is what I came up with!
