- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1.5 cups milk
- 1 cup water
- 1 box macaroni and cheese mix
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt

Heat an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, crumbling with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 7 minutes. Add in macaroni, milk, water, and powdered cheese packet and stir, using a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring mixture to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is just tender and mixture is thick and creamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in 1 cup cheese. Turn off heat.

Apple Fritter Pancakes
Apple fritter pancakes make a wonderful breakfast topped with some warmed maple syrup and served with some breakfast meats. You can use any type of apple for this recipe—I used Honeycrisp (Fuji works great, too), but the sweeter the better. If you are using a tart apple, add another tablespoon of sugar.
Gluten Free Pumpkin Cheesecake
When my mother was undergoing chemotherapy for the cancer that eventually took her life, I came up with the basic recipe for the cheesecake. It was one of the few foods that she really enjoyed and would stay down. Now my granddaughter has a gluten allergy, so I've adapted the recipe for her by using the gluten-free crust instead of the original graham crumb crust. I think I like this version better!
