Sausage patty rounds

 These can be eaten by themselves or put in breakfast sandwiches. Easy and quick to make.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground pork (or can try turkey)
•  ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  
•   2-4 T buttermilk (or regular milk, this didn't seem necessary; Could also try an egg)
  
•  1-2 tsp onion powder
•  1-2 tsp dried ground sage (or try other spices)
  
•  1/4 tsp sea salt (amount depends on saltiness of the meat product, this was with a pre-salted product)
  
•  1/4 tsp pepper
•  1/4 tsp garlic powder
•  1/4 tsp dried oregano (can try other spices)
  

1. In a bowl, combine all ingredients, mixing lightly but thoroughly.

2. Shape into eight ½ in thick patties. Let sit for 30-60 minutes if time.

3. In a frypan, cook patties over medium heat until their internal temperature reads 160 degree, about 5-8 minutes on each side, depending on thickness.

Raspberry Pie

1-2 Pie crusts (homemade or store bought, we used an extra GF pie crust we had made)

FILLING:

• 5 cups fresh raspberries (can defrost frozen ones, but it can get kind of soupy)
  
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (we used Bob's Red Mill GF 1 to 1 flour)
  
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

SUGAR TOPPING (ONLY if you add a second crust on top):

• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon 2% milk

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375°. For filling, place raspberries in a large bowl; drizzle with lemon juice and almond extract. In a small bowl, mix sugar, flour and cinnamon. Sprinkle over raspberries and toss gently to coat.
• follow pie crust instructions for par baking it, or it gets kind of gummy, then add filling
  
• Top with second crust, if desired (it was great without it). Trim, seal and flute edge. If desired, decorate top with cutouts. You may want to have another pan underneath to catch any juice that drips out.
  
• Bake 35-40 minutes. If it doesn't have a crust on top, it's done. If you've put another crust on top, mix sugar and cinnamon. Brush top of pie with milk; sprinkle with sugar mixture. Bake 10-20 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack.
