Pumpkin biscuits and Country sage gravy

Fall Sundays in the Midwest equal biscuits and gravy. Growing up I remember waking up and helping mom place the buttermilk pre-packaged and cut biscuits onto a tray and placing them in the oven while dad stirred up homemade gravy filled with starch, milk, and bacon grease. Our stomachs would be full, warm and satisfied. I woke up this morning after a long Octoberfest filled night wanting a filling breakfast. I went straight to the kitchen and made my first healthy version of this meal and I gotta say- it rocked!
