Coffemate Gravy recipe?

[Robby712]

I saw on here in another thread (I forget which) someone mentioned making a brown gravy using coffeemate and a bunch of black pepper...but the other ingredients weren't mentioned.

Does anybody else know how to make this? 

Thanks in advance,
Chris

I use the Dairy Delicious milk for gravy. It's low in phosphorus and potassium, and is regular 2% milk.

Here's a recipe that might have what you need:

From Living Well on Dialysis Cookbook

Country Biscuits and Gravy

Biscuits

Gravy
6 oz ground beef
1/2 teaspoon sage
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons margarine
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup liquid non-dairy creamer         

Directions:
For biscuits, combine flour and baking powder in a bowl. Cut in margarine until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add creamer and water, mixing to form a dough. Knead on a floured surface 10 times. Roll dough out and cut into 8 biscuits. Bake on a greased baking sheet at 450°F for 10 to 12 minutes until golden.

I still prefer sausage gravy. I make my own sausage that is kidney friendly.

[donnia]

Yummm flip!  I love homemade sausage!!!

[twirl]

I could not find the coffe mate recipe for gravy
I looked all over the net
Davita has a recipe for homemade suasage that is not horrible

[flip]

I've tried the Davita recipe and didn't care for it. Sausage needs at least 25% fat in order to cook and taste like sausage.

[twirl]

like I said, it is not horrible
was too much like ground beef and not sausage

[flip]

I'll post my recipe if anyone is interested.

[twirl]

interested

[donnia]

yep, I'm interested too!!!

it wasn't a recipie really- it was just when you make sausage gravy- as you would normally do- you use liquid non dairy creamer where you would otherwise use milk- it works for puddings too

[twirl]

so Flip, where is the recipe and also how about eggplant on the grill, sounds great
and hope you are having a fun summer----- I know you like the outside

[flip]

1 1/2 lbs. ground pork (w/fat)
1 tsp. black pepper
1 1/2 tsp. Popa Dash(or salt)
1 tsp. sage
1/4 tsp. cayenne (omit for mild)
1/4 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. thyme
1/4 cup cold water

Mix thoroughly and form into patties. They can be frozen for later use.

[donnia]

Yummmmmm!!!!  I'm gonna give this a try!

Hey Donnia, watch the fat content there.  Sausage is fatty by nature and prednisone makes you want to eat more of everything so I always found it easier to go lower fat and eat more for the same number of calories.  If you make your own sausage meat as Flip suggests you might cut back on the amount of pork fat but know ahead of time that it won't be as tasty.  I'm only saying this because of your post about  your appetite post-transplant and your concern about gaining weight.  My pre-dialysis appetite was non-existent, my dialysis appetite is very manageable but my post-transplant appetite was off the charts due to prednisone.

[donnia]

Thanks monrein!  I will watch that.... I guess old habits are sooooooo hard to break!

[flip]

If you cut out too much fat, you will have to fry the patties in oil.

[twirl]

flip your recipes sounds wonderful
going to Kroger's to get the ingredients now
(what no vodka)

[donnia]

Yep, does sound delicious flip.  I'm gonna try it.... just gonna limit how much I eat
