Irish Bangers & Mash with Brown Gravy Recipe--my confession: a replacement for pork bangers

Sooooo, I have a confession... I don't really eat much pork, I just prefer leaner types of protein so my bangers are made with chicken and they were delicious!! We have a local store here that makes several different varieties of sausages and brats with chicken and spices. The ones in our Bangers and Mash with Brown Gravy are the chicken garlic variety but if you prefer the traditional Irish pork brat then this recipe works exactly the same!

Irish Bangers & Mash with Brown Gravy Recipe plus a look at food in Ireland

• Irish food can vary from hearty-comfort food to fresh from the sea dishes. • Soups of all types, seafood, and meats also play important roles in the Irish diet. • Irish soups are thick, hearty, and filling, with potatoes, seafood, and various meats being common ingredients. • Since their country is surrounded by water, the Irish enjoy many types of seafood, including salmon, scallops, lobster, mussels, and oysters. • However, meat is eaten more frequently at Irish meals--the most common meats are beef, lamb, and pork. • A typical Irish dinner consists of potatoes (cooked whole), cabbage, and meat.

 Right now you never know what you are going to get, snow and cold mixed with a bit of sunshine here and there. While I have striven to embrace winter running this year there are still days when the treadmill is a must. When the snow is blowing side ways or the only time I can get out is at 5am you can most assuredly find me on the treadmill. 

There are plenty of people that cannot mentally push through the treadmill, I have learned good company, a good movie and/or mixing things up is a great way to tackle treadmill miles. This is a workout I did with a treadmill class a few weeks ago (treadmill class is a lot like spin class but on treadmills instead of running). I loved it and have used it for myself a few more times.


Some other things to remember when running on a treadmill.

1) Warm up. All too often I watch people walk into the gym, jump on the treadmill and start running. Take a minute and get your body ready to go.

2) Music or movies. Figure out what works for you and make it better. Good headphones, decent quality screen, whatever it is you need have it.

3) Embrace it! If you get on the treadmill with a bad attitude and watching the clock from the get-go it is never going to get better.



If you don't know your race paces here is what you are going to do; find your base pace (a pace that you could maintain for an hour), and from there you will go +5 for marathon, +10 for half marathon, +15 for 10k, and +20 for 5k pace. 

For example; start at 7.0. Complete the mile run (1600 m) at 7.5, the 1200 m at 8.0, 800 m at 8.5, and the 400 m at 9.0.
