Spicy Bangers and Mash!

Bangers and Mash – Kicked up a little. OK, a lot!

This is not “traditional” bangers and mash. And in truth, it’s not meant to be. Not because I don’t love the traditional version, it’s just because I happen to pick up a great deal on Jalapeno Cheddar sausage from the butcher and figured, what the hell? Why not, right? How […]

Homemade Turkey Pot Pie is the best!
