Mucus...and yeah, a recipe. Still hungry?

"Diets consisting of cooked processed foods force the production of excessive amounts of mucus as a form of protection. Because of the Modern Diet, we are swimming in a mucus fog causing a sluggish, tired mental state that demands a shot of coffee to kick start the body in the morning. With a mucusless diet, the intercellular fluid around the cells will be free of mucus, resulting in better memory and clear, sharp thinking. Instead of waking up in the morning, feeling worse than when you went to bed, you will spring out of bed, sleepy-dirt free, enthusiastically prepared to pounce on a new day's challenge. Eating more naturally will result in the intensifying of the five senses. You will breathe more easily and be far less susceptible to colds and flues. Antibodies from the immune system will not be forced to battle their way through thick, sticky mucus in the blood. Antibodies will be free to travel quickly and efficiently to the areas of need, resulting in a powerful resistance against sickness and disease."

UH..........GROSS!!! Heeeeeeeeeello? I had no idea. So, now that there's proof of why you can feel crappy in the morning after having a unhealthy dinner....let's jumpstart our morning with a healthy breakfast....Well, at least a completely breakfast. Sausage isn't SUPER healthy...but yum!!!

So...I don't really have a recipe for this, but we (meaning my incredibly English Family) call in Toad in a Hole. I figured it fit with the whole mucus thing, gross again...I know.
So...Toad in a Hole.
