Shepherd’s Pie

Shepherd's Pie 2

Resisting the most adorable casserole dish in the world, I could not.  I scooped it up without concern that I rarely make casseroles.  I’d figure something out, right? Pinterest would certainly guide me in the right direction.

Chopped Veggies

While I didn’t find the recipe on Pinterest, it did spark a memory of Shepherd’s Pie. I’d often seen it on menus, but couldn’t recall if Shepherd’s Pie was something I had ever actually tried.  I sifted through recipes and came to the conclusion that anything topped with mashed potatoes was worth giving a shot.

Shepherd's Pie Stuffing

I settled on Alton Brown’s Shepherd’s Pie recipe.  Partly because I trust Alton Brown, but mostly because I was excited about cooking with ground lamb.

I swapped out {more than} a handful of ingredients to make this dish void of dairy and gluten.  There were initial nerves about how mashed potatoes with coconut milk and oil would taste.  But after whipping them up and sampling the meat/veggie mix, I knew I was 25 baking minutes away from the coziest of meals in the coziest of casserole dishes.

A modified version of Alton Brown’s recipe is below:

Pickled Green Beans & Asparagus

Canned Green Beans & Asparagus

Was anyone else’s Instagram feed filled with beefed up bloody marys this weekend?  Every time I scrolled down, I was reminded how much I love bloody garnishes.  Particularly pickled okra.  But since I learned that okra is way out of season, I stuck to not-in-season-but-still-in-stock green beans and asparagus.

Sterilizing Mason Jars

I chopped the greenest greens and followed this Alton Brown recipe.

Vegetables for Canning

I’m looking forward to seeing what these veggies are all about in two weeks! Until then, I’ll be hunting for the perfect bloody mary recipe.  If you have one, please share!
