Cream of Whatever Soup
2T butter
1/4 C flour
1/2 C low sodium chicken broth
1/2 C milk (I used whole, but lower fat is likely just fine)
salt and pepper to taste (just guess based on the salt content of the recipe you are making, I didn't add much and it was fine)
1/4 C of whatever you want the soup to be...mushroom, celery, onion, potato, broccoli, chicken (cooked), finely chopped.
In small saucepan heat the butter and the "of" ingredient until soft, (not tender), add flour and stir together. It will be thick, sticky and gooey, and that is ok. I used mushrooms from a can and slap-chopped them to pieces:-)
Slowly add broth and whisk to avoid lumps. Bring to a boil, while whisking, and cook until thickened (doesn't take long, so don't walk away!)
Add milk, salt and pepper and stir until combined and thick.

Breakfast Casserole
1/2 - 1 lb sausage (I bought the pre-cooked pre-crumbled kind --found near the hotdogs at the store)
1 pkg crescent rolls
1 C cheddar cheese, shredded
10 eggs
1/4 C milk
1 T rosemary or oregano
1/2 t salt
1/4 t pepper
Heat oven to 400. Cook your sausage, (or use pre cooked). Unroll the crescent rolls and press into the bottom of a 9x13 pan, pressing seams together to make one large sheet of dough.
Spread sausage over the dough, sprinkle cheese over sausage, whisk all other ingredients together and pour over the top.
Bake for 15-20 until the crust is golden brown and the eggs are set.
