Bangers and mash gets its name because sausages used to bang or burst while cooking. Mash, meanwhile, refers to the mashed potatoes. This recipe was a staple at our home in Dublin at Halloween. It is a very cheap, very traditional supper, and one that truly requires good sausage. Please note that this is a very thin gravy, as is traditional. It will still be very liquidy.

Herbs de Provence
This herbs de Provence recipe was developed after looking at many different recipes. It's my version of the classic dried herb seasoning that tastes great in salads and on fish, chicken, beef, or pork. The fragrance is amazing!
Peanut Butter Balls
The recipe for these peanut butter balls came from my 96-year-old neighbor, Mrs. Lucille Savage. She still makes them at Christmas, and now I do, too. Peanut butter balls are always a crowd favorite with a hardened chocolate coating and a smooth, creamy, melt-in-your-mouth peanut butter filling. This recipe delivers an unexpected but delightful crunch, thanks to the addition of crisp rice cereal. Decorate your peanut butter balls with sprinkles or other candy coatings just after dipping, or drizzle melted chocolate over the top.
