Have you ever thought of serving sausage for your St. Patrick's Day meal? I am guessing that there is a good chance that the answer is no. It seems that most people associate sausage with Italian food, as they tend to think of pork sausage that has been simmering in marinara. Of course, sausage covers many different genres of food, as it can be made with almost any meat and have infinite combinations of seasonings added.
For a St. Pat's menu that is sure to be different and delicious this should work. The combination of lamb sausage, colcannon, onions, and

Scots Irish Stew

As far as holidays go, I think that St. Patrick's Day is one of the most celebrated holidays that doesn't involve much cooking creativity. What I've seen is that people either go to a restaurant serving Irish fare or make corned beef and cabbage at home. For some reason, the wearing o' the green doesn't encourage people to try different dishes.
Hopefully this recipe series will encourage Think Tasty readers to serve something new. With St. Patrick's Day falling on a Saturday, it gives home cooks even more time and opportunity to try a new recipe and surprise their friends

I know, the box of chocolate and the bouquet of flowers from Valentine's Day still grace your counter, but it is time to start thinking about the next holiday's food. I mean, aren't themed food menus a major topic for your spare thinking time? If they aren't yet, they should be. Think about how much more fun holidays and events could be with the perfect menu.
The next holiday that we are planning at Think Tasty is St. Patrick's Day. For me, I have been making the same menu for the same group of people for the last six years:

Mom’s Mac & Cheese, Version 2
by TT on February 6th, 2012 | Main Dishes, Recipes
Growing up, homemade mac & cheese was a semi-regular menu item at our house. Unfortunately, I wasn't a big fan of the first version, which had cubes of cheddar cheese tossed with the macaroni. I was a child, so I most likely was being picky and didn't appreciate the big bursts of cheddar throughout the dish. Luckily for me, in my early teens my mom was given a different recipe from a friend, which I adored. A combination of colby and cheddar cheeses were made into a sauce that made a silky coating for the macaroni.

Brussel Sprouts & Sausage
by TT on January 5th, 2012 | Main Dishes, Recipes, Side Dishes
It may be the first week of January, but I still have recipes from our Christmas Eve feast to share. As I was considering what recipe to share next, I decided that since I started with dessert I should continue to work backward through the meal. Thus, the next dish that was mine to prepare was the primo, Brussel Sprouts & Sausage.
For this recipe, I wanted the brussel sprouts to be the star. Doing so would help to keep the dish lighter. For those who like heartier dishes with more of meat focus, the amount of sausage definitely can
