For ground beef for us here in Davao and General Santos area we are lucky we have Lisa’s Meat. They have ground lean meat on the package already. They really have the best ground meat that I know so far. I tried Monterey Meat but their ground meat has so much fat in it. Whenever you cook you are not happy with the end result. One option too is getting the meat at your public market. Really know someone there that will give you a good meat. Get a good lean pork and let them ground the meat for you.

Gosh, the McCormick people will really love me. In my pantry you will find almost a hundred McCormick spices there. I think I almost have every spice they have in the grocery store. I am not bragging guys I just like to have it because we use it anyway. In my pantry we have so much ground or stick cinnamon. You know the reason for that, we used it for potpourri just in case we are cooking some Filipino dish that its not smelling good here. You know what I mean?

Homemade sausage and biscuits!

Breakfast Sausage Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. ground pork (lean ground meat-luckily we have Lisa’s meat here)
• 1/2 tbsp iodized salt (I used Kosher salt)
• 1/2 tsp ground sage
• 1/3 tsp savory (I used oregano & thyme)
• 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
• 2/3 tsp ground marjoram
• 1/3 tsp freshly ground pepper

Procedures:

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Stuff into casings or make patties. For us here at the house I just make into patties. Freeze some for future use.

Biscuits and Gravy

Good Biscuits:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 3 tbsp sugar (or use Splenda)
• 5 tbsp melted butter
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/3 milk ( maybe add a little more)
• a dash of salt

Procedure:

*** Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Brush the baking sheets with melted butter. ***

Mix all the ingredients together.  I used my hand to mix everything. Then the batter separately apart in the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until some edge of the biscuits turn brown. Take out from the cookie sheet cut in half and put butter and jelly and serve with breakfast sausage or bacon or with ham . Biscuits and breakfast sausage with gravy too. Yummy
