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.

Simple Italian Omelet
I call this simple omelet recipe "Italian" for a couple of reasons. First, I used olive oil instead of butter, and second, I cooked the eggs quickly in a hot pan, letting them get a little golden brown. The traditional French omelets are thicker and cooked much more gently.
The Tostada Connection
Love Mexican food? Give your taste buds a treat and have a slice of tostada pizza with a crispy, healthier cauliflower crust. Trust me on this one, it works! Garnish with sour cream, salsa, pickled jalapenos, and additional Cheddar cheese.
Authentic Thai Green Curry
This is a classic Thai green curry (kaeng kiau wan) and my favorite curry of all time! You can substitute chicken or tofu for the pork, but make sure you serve it with lots of jasmine rice.
