Welcome To Recipes From the Heart

The old adage 'necessity is the mother of invention' was certainly true as I raised my children. When they were preschool age, my husband's company conducted a reduction of work force resulting in the loss of our only income. Have you ever read a recipe and had all the ingredients except one? Everyone has. So what do you do? Go to the store and buy the ingredient? That wasn't an option during those lean years. I learned to recreate recipes and create my own. I learned to enjoy opening the pantry and putting things together to make a new dish. I have kept the dishes through the years and still use them today. This site will feature my tweaked recipes and some I created on my own. Each of my adult books include recipes. I would love to know how you tweak my recipes for your family's taste or the supplies in your pantry.

Sausage Rolls

Breakfast sandwiches are great.  Just pop them in the microwave and in a couple of minutes, your breakfast is ready.  However, most of them have cheese.  My husband doesn't like cheese.  We have tried taking off the cheese before heating, but it was messy and not worth the effort.  I decided to make my own and this is what I came up with.

Use Rhodes yeast rolls and your favorite pan sausage.  Place rolls on a cookie sheet and allow to soften.  Be sure they don't rise too much.  Meanwhile, roll tablespoon size pan sausage into balls and set aside.

I do these ahead of time and put the cooked rolls in baggies.  I keep them in the refrigerator and my husband zaps them in the microwave.  He enjoys them and best of all--no cheese.

  1. Oh my goodness - how simple! That sounds great. I'll have to try them for the upcoming great deer hunting weekend. Thanks for the idea!

  2. Thank you so much. My husband doesn't like cheese either and has a problem touching the frozen "things" to remove the cheese before microwaving them. This is a great solution. Also, you can get them ready on the weekend and have a "to go" breakfast all week long. Love Rhodes rolls anyway. Thanks again and bless you from Texas.
