Today
Steph takes control of my blog, sharing with us 2 amazing recipes from their
cookbooks.
Over to
you Steph.
Well Dan was renowned for his sausages on My Kitchen
Rules.
We created 3 different ones during the show & the
judges only enjoyed one - it was absolutely heart breaking as we were so
passionate about making our own.
There was talk during the show of a sausage shop, but
after some research it was not the right idea & path for us to go down.
Now have our own restaurant 'EAT at Dan & Stephs in
Hervey Bay' we are still are very passionate about our sausages. We create our
own flavours &
cook them for you to enjoy or you can actually take a fresh pack home with you.
This recipe is ideal for the entire family - definitely a
WINTER WARMER, comforting & delicious
We hope you enjoy it
