Sausages in Brown Onion Gravy

I had a go at David's Sausages in Brown Onion Gravy tonight. Lovely, just the thing for a cold winter night. I used extra lean sausages and had it with lots of steamed veggies so it was a reasonably healthy  meal and cheap too.

Pizza!

Pizza and kebabs are my favorite fast food. I often make a version of the prosciutto and bocconcini pizza in summer when I have fresh basil. The good thing about home made pizza is you can control the amount of cheese and other fats. Good for the waist line.
