Homemade Breakfast Sausage

Mrs. Rhodes 6 Comments

I have made my own breakfast sausage many times using ground pork (for pork sausage), ground beef (for beef sausage), ground venison, ground chicken, and ground turkey (for chicken or turkey sausage). I have even done a 1/2 and 1/2 mix with beef and pork, beef and venison, or chicken (or turkey) and pork. They all come out tasty and much cheaper than buying name-brand sausages filled with MSG and other unhealthy additives. Once you see how easy this is to make you’ll wonder why you haven’t tried this before.

Homemade Breakfast Sausage

Ingredients:
1.5 lbs. ground pork, venison, beef, turkey, or chicken (can use any ground meat of your liking)
1 tsp. Salt (I like sea or Real Salt)
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. ground sage
1 tsp. regular or smoked paprika
2 tsp. brown sugar (or Maple Syrup- see note below)
3/4 tsp. thyme
½ tsp. garlic powder
½ tsp. ground fennel seed (optional)
1/4 tsp. marjoram
1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (use more to make it spicy if you’d like)
1 Tbsp. olive oil (if using only venison, chicken, or turkey)

Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. The flavors blend in better if you make this a few hours ahead of time. After mixing in a bowl, cover and chill (or refrigerate it overnight) before cooking. When ready to cook, shape into 8-9 patties and cook in a heated skillet with a little olive oil (if using chicken or turkey) about 4-5 minutes per side or until done. Serve with your breakfast, or freeze cooked sausage in Ziploc bags for later use. These are good with biscuits!

Being a confident Homemaker

Mrs. Rhodes Leave a comment

Although some may say otherwise, many women feel the pressure to justify their decision to be a homemaker. Add not having any children in the home (for whatever reason), and that’s a whole other problem in itself. You don’t have to feel like you made the wrong decision to choose homemaking as your calling. You also don’t have to currently have children at home to justify being a homemaker. There are many reasons why that is the case, but it does not make any difference. Quiet the voices all around you, be at peace, and boldly live out God’s plan for you despite what others may think.

Dead to sin, but Alive to God

Mrs. Rhodes Leave a comment

Romans 6:1-14

​ 1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? 3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. 7 For he who has died has been freed from sin. 8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. 13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

Jesus our propitiation

Mrs. Rhodes 2 Comments

Romans 3:21-26

21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, 26 to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

Christ died in our place

Mrs. Rhodes Leave a comment

Romans 5:6-10

6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. 10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

Easy Hollandaise Sauce

Mrs. Rhodes Leave a comment

Easy Blender Hollandaise Sauce

Ingredients:

3 egg yolks
1 stick butter, melted
1  Tbsp. lemon juice (fresh)
1/4 tsp. Dijon or Spicy brown mustard
1/4-1/2 tsp. salt
1/8-1/4 tsp. white (or black) pepper
dash of Hot sauce

Directions:

Let your whole eggs come to room temperature. Separate the yolks from the whites. Melt your butter and let it cool down. In a tall glass or Mason jar, add all ingredients and pulse with an emersion (stick) blender until combined and creamy. Be careful not to overdo it. If using a blender, just add all to a blender and slowly pulse until combined and creamy but not thick. It will become thicker as it sets, so use it right away.  If I have any left over for the next day, I just let it come to room temperature to soften.
