My favorite things about the weekend, getting to sleep in, everyone is home, and breakfast. Weekday mornings Mr.G and the kids all have different schedules, so breakfast is quick, some toast, a bowl of cereal, yogurt or fruit. Soooo on Saturday and Sunday, I like to spoil them and myself while I am at it. This morning Mr.G was headed to the farmers market, he was up first, and was kind enough to start making the coffee, before heading out. With the kiddos still waking up, I decided on Biscuits and sausage for breakfast. Now trust me, biscuits are really easy and super quick to make. These are light and fluffy on the inside , crispy on the outside. I made sausage because, that's what I had had, but bacon would be divine, but so would butter and honey! The kids made it to the the table just as these were coming out of the oven. It's a good thing I saved some for Mr.G, because the rest were all gobbled up quickly. I hope you try these, I really think you will like them! ...

This is a fast and super easy way to get the flavor of hollandaise sauce. It’s a thick, rich sauce that  can be whipped up in a blink of an eye, with a few simple ingredients. Ohhh and it is delicious, and perfect for your  lazy sunday morning eggs benedict. However, I am firm believer that it’s not just for brunch this sauce, for  your lunch you could top some burgers with it, and for dinner on some steaks,  and lets not forget the perfect combo,asparagus! 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard 4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste 2 tablespoons melted butter  salt and cayenne pepper, to taste To make the mock hollandaise, whisk the mayonnaise, Dijon, and lemon juice. Melt the butter and stir in quickly. Season with a pinch of kosher salt and a generous amount of cayenne pepper. **please use good mayo, and fresh lemon juice, it will make all the difference in taste source
