To people outside the South biscuits and gravy may seem like an exotic dish, but to Southerners it's commonplace. Like many people my age, I have moved away from home and find myself craving things that I didn't care much for as a kid (S.O.S.!!!). When I'm craving something my grandma and mom used to make for me, I now have make it for myself. I think my grandma would have a heart attack if she knew I paid $8 for a small plate of poblano-cheddar biscuits and country sausage gravy at a local restaurant because I didn't know how to make it myself!

| sweet potato biscuits & thyme gravy |
Today I put a twist on the classic biscuits and gravy by making sweet potato biscuits and thyme gravy. This recipe is great for this post-Thanksgiving weekend when you probably have leftover sweet potatoes in the fridge that no one wants to eat since all the marshmallows are gone! I will admit that my biscuits are delicious but not as good as my mom's! I'm pretty sure it's because I use whole wheat dough instead. And because things taste better when your mom makes them!
