We had such a huge brunch today that we ended up not having dinner and just snacking. I was going to fry up some buttermilk fried chicken for our Sunday dinner but the thought of something fried after this humongous meal just was not appetizing anymore. So I’m saving the chicken for tomorrow’s dinner.
My husband who just love breakfast nearly swooned when he saw me putting this meal together. It was close to noon and we hadn’t had anything to eat but coffee and the girls were just getting out of bed. I decided to clean out the refrigerator. I took out sausage, liver pudding, and bacon. There was also some greens left over from Friday’s dinner so why not? Why not have some veggies to balance out all these fattening meats, right? Besides, it was sinfully good.
Midway to cooking breakfast, my husband nonchanlantly mentioned, “It would be nice to have some sausage gravy“. Well the man has been working hard, I figure, why not? So I made him gravy too on top of everything else.
So this was his plate and on it is: Neese’s ‘hot’ sausage patties, Neese’s Liver Pudding, 2 eggs over easy, and garlic fried rice smothered in Sausage Gravy. Along the side are some sliced tomatoes, some leftover greens and toast. He was a happy man!

Wow, that is one colorful plate. I can see why your husband was happy
I also clean up my fridge every Monday, because we just make so much food during the weekend…
Thanks, treesrgood. Sunday is my day to cook and clean out the fridge. Since I work during the week, I try to cook extra on weekends so I won’t have to cook everyday. That’s the plan, anyway
Nom nom nom… sausage gravy! Hey, just based on color alone, this is a balanced meal. Hehe
That meal looks really sumptuous, Jeanette. It is nice to know that moms are really creative when it comes to almost everything. I love how you turned leftover food into another delicious brunch and added veggies to make it healthier. Your husband and girls must really love you for this.
My mom always reminds me that even leftovers can be made another delicious meal if we just know how to use our creativity in cooking. Garlic fried rice with ausage gravy? wow, that’s a fantastic meal for sure!
At home we usually eat breakfast cooked by my sister who likes to experiment in cooking our meals .Just like with what you did, she also made recipes like this every time there’s leftovers. As long as you know how food to taste good, you’ll surely save much from it.
For me the food doesn’t look that yummy. The presentation is not good. But I think it taste great coz of the way you prepared it. You know how to recycle leftover foods and its nice to know that you are not wasting the blessings you have. Btw, can you give us some of your recipes which we can use for our leftover foods?
Nice one…cooking is definitely one of my past time. And I make sure the the quality of it especially when we talk about health. But sometimes I even did some things which violated my rules like simply eating what is already served or just buy in a fast food chain.LOL!
How I wish I could eat together with my family, cooking together, and having good time together during weekends. I always envy families like you have eating their meals at out-town picnics or at some sort-of-getting-together stuffs. In my case, because I am a busy businessman, I hardly come home during weekends to check out my little kids and their mother. To aid my homesickness, I just called up or just email them. But sometimes, phone calls or emails are not enough. so, I have to get myself home on weekends even if I have unfinished business to settle. And just to get myself refreshed.
Foods are good! Nice to know that this left over have their own simplicity to cook again. Particularly, when there are parties and food are all over, in idea of yours, I can try this one. Your cook look nice even I can’t taste nor smell it but I can see trough Its deliciousness appearance. Thanks!
