Biscuits 'n' Gravy

The Chef: Abby

The Menu: Biscuits, gravy, and home-style potatoes. Oh, did we mention that Ms. Abby busted these sundried-tomato-infused biscuits out from scratch right here in our kitchen? Yeah, she did. Equally delicious—and homemade—was the country gravy which we slathered on top of the biscuits. A side of perfectly tender home-style potatoes was just the right thing to finish off this breakfast-inspired lunch.

The Goods: Abby is quickly establishing herself as the go-to breakfast gal, and we like that. The tantalizing smell of baking biscuits made it extremely hard for us not to just eat them standing up, straight out of the oven. Thankfully we were able to restrain ourselves long enough to get the full effect of gravy and potatoes, which made the meal extra-satisfying. Frankie, who's our resident Southern Belle, even said that the biscuits were better than her mother's. If that's not a compliment, we don't know what is.

Homey Potatoes

The Chef: Jenny

The Menu: An almost-Thanksgiving spread of fluffy, hearty mashed potatoes with country gravy, roasted acorn squash, and fresh, steamed broccoli with spices. Yes, Ms. Jenny actually made country gravy from scratch just for this meal. Yes, it was savory and delicious and we love her.

The Goods: Today's comfort food couldn't have come at a better time, since today is our editorial deadline, we're gearing up for the unbe-freakin'-lieveable relaunch of vegnews.com, oh, and maybe this weekend we have a little party to throw and a World Veg Festival Weekend to celebrate. Of course, it would be difficult to say that there is ever a bad time for Thanksgiving-inspired lunches, but today's homey meal was especially appreciated.
