Shakshuka (or shakshouka) is a traditional Tunisian dish featuring poached eggs in a spicy tomato sauce with onions, bell pepper, and garlic. It's usually eaten for breakfast, but I think it makes a tasty lunch or dinner, served with lots of bread to mop up the sauce.

Starkey's Mashed Potato Pizza
Mashed potato pizza is pizza topped with mashed potatoes instead of sauce. I modeled this after a pizza I had at a restaurant called the Willoughby Brewing Company. If you like this one, try the original! You can use any toppings you like on top of your potatoes, but this is how I like it. Bon appétit!
