Today is "real" breakfast day at our house.
Homemade biscuits, eggs, sausage or bacon, fig preserves or crab apple jelly, coffee, fresh jalapeno peppers on the side. Sometimes I get gravy too. Thank God my wife is feeling better and is able to bless me with this good cooking.
If the wind is right you might be able to smell the sausage.
Have a blessed day,
Leon
Oh now - Your gonna make me cry. I still miss my Grandma's fig preserves
Being human is not for sissies.
Sure miss those country breakfast days, do not miss the shocking hay and forking it on a wagon.
Do you have country ham?? I soak mine in water for a day to leach out the salt. It is still salty but at least edible.

No country ham here, wish there was.
It seems that in Texas, folks are in love with the "breakfast taco". I hate, loath and abominate those things and can't abide the look or smell of them, much less the taste. I mentioned this to my wife this morning and she said "I was true to my Southern roots". I prefer the aforementioned victals to any of the faux Meskin crapola.

Hey Char, won't you tell us how you really feel? Would you agree that the OP left out grits?

Reminds me of when I was one of Uncle Sam's Misguided Children, a heaping pile of home fries with eggs over easy on top and the whole thing smothered in Southern sausage gravy! How I loved my last two years at Quantico, best rations ever!
No, I'm not that far North!I have grits, toast and coffee 5 days a week sometimes.
I only have them one day a week. My wife is from Canada and does not like grits. One of her few faults.

Leon, if you will publish your address you will have a line of visitors longer than you care for or can feed......
When guns are outlawed only criminals and the government will have them and at that time I will see very little difference in either!

Breakfast Taco's are an abomination to proper eating. I don't like them and call them an insult to a proper Southern breakfast.
A proper breakfast must contain properly cooked grits , biscuits , a meat of your choice and eggs , ( I like mine over easy) and
Dark roast coffee. Gravy is nice but not a necessity .

Yep, OP left out grits.. Shame too!
We got "designer" grits from Barkley's Mill in NC, it's their heirloom white "dent" corn that they grow organically, then hand pick the dark kernels off each ear, then stone grind coarse, you can get bolted or unbolted (sifted) I got one of each and mixed them.
Then we got grits from Anson Mills in SC, stone ground coarse from "pencil cob corn" which was a variety popular in the antebellum days with the moonshiners, brought back and cultivated by Glen Roberts and sold by Anson Mills. This stuff, oh dang is it GOOD!
So now I mix them together and have never had grits quite so good as these. Pricey yes. Unequalled, definitely.. You either loves grits or you don't..
Got a .22 .30 .32 .357 .38 .40 .41 .44 .45 .480 or .500 S&W cylinder that needs throats honed? 9mm, 10mm/40S&W, 45 ACP pistol barrel that won't "plunk" your handloads? 480 Ruger or 475 Linebaugh cylinder that needs the "step" reamed to 6° 30min chamfer?

Not breakfast but, I called the wife on the way home from work one night to see what we were having for dinner.
Wife told me pork chops but she didn't have any potatoes or rice. I asked her if she had some grits. Yep we got grits. I told her to cook some grits and green beans to go with the pork chops.
That was as fine a meal as I have ever eaten. Pork chops, grits and green beans.
Grits are not for breakfast only.
Oh Joe! You made my heart go pitty pat with your OP! I can't have grits or biscuits any more, but I surely DO miss them mightily! Nowadays, it's just eggs, bacon or sausage or ham, and a piece of some kind of bread that doesn't spike my blood sugar, decaf coffee with @ 1/3 tsp. of sugar and creamer. And now I'm even cutting down on the sugar and creamer! But it's still my favorite meal of the day, most days. Gives me the little boost I need to get going. And I'd really, really, really be lost without my eggs and bacon. Of course, that's what I said about the grits and biscuits, too, though. Did I mention how much I miss those two?
Now your talking ! Nothing like Breakfast in Dixie .Today is "real" breakfast day at our house.
Homemade biscuits, eggs, sausage or bacon, fig preserves or crab apple jelly, coffee, fresh jalapeno peppers on the side. Sometimes I get gravy too. Thank God my wife is feeling better and is able to bless me with this good cooking.

Have a blessed day,

It is funny but two fried eggs will last me from 5:45 AM until noon. Add some carbs to that and I am ready to eat a horse @ 10:00 AM. I can get by with a little bit of them if I fry some flour tortillas and add them to a jalapeno onion egg mix but usually a slice of provolone on top is plenty for me.

Never knew there was "designer grits" !!!, hope Amazon has them, I love this forum
I had plain ole jalapeno cheddar cheese grits for supper last night, nothing like a good southern breakfast. Need gravy and biscuits to go with my grits, bacon and eggs.
