"A great Irish classic. Great for dinner and the kid's love it. A bit involved but it's worth it. This version is similar to pigs in a blanket. Posted for Zaar World Tour 05."

I've always wanted to try toad in the hole...hehe. Although we enjoyed this I think I may have done something wrong or maybe the cooking time was too long for the amount of batter. The bottom of the "hole" was pretty crusty and on the overdone side. I'll make again but shorten the cooking time or lower the cooking temperature.

My name is Ami and I share my home with my husband, Carey, our two small sons, James and Charles and our daughters Meradydd (it's pronounced Meradith)and Kathrynn. Until recently, I was a Specialist in the National Guard. I'm pretty eclectic in my studies and I've learned a lot becuase of that since I don't limit myself. Right now I'm taking classes for animal care. I've also been studying a lot about herbalism and really enjoy learning about that. My mother and I also run a home based business for natural soap, balms, etc. We use only the most the natural ingredients available. I'm also a Mary Kay consultant. Busy, huh? :D I love to read and learn new things. My husband says our books will be the death of us. LOL. I love to cook and experiment. I also like to take walks, rain or not.
