Hey guys... what did y'all do over the weekend? We did this and it was amazing. Shepherds Pie is such a classic comfort food and it makes me happy. While it isn't the "healthiest" per say it is delicious and, when eaten in moderation, it is perfectly fine.
Gimmi did a 'golden potato - sweet potato' mixture that was to die for on top. Yum Yum!
Happy Monday friends... go get in the kitchen and treat yourself!
