It was one of those Sunday mornings filled with the promise of a lazy day ahead. The sun streamed through the kitchen window as the aroma of sizzling sausage filled the air, instantly transporting me back to childhood breakfasts at my grandmother's house. Those delightful mornings were always centered around fluffy pancakes and the unmistakable taste of crispy breakfast sausage.
