10 Mar Shepherd’s Pie
Need a recipe to use up leftovers from the holidays? A shepherd’s pie is an easy dish to assemble and this comfort food classic is super flexible and delicious. I had some leftover mashed potatoes, fresh herbs, and veggies that I wanted to use up. To boost fibre and nutrients I mixed in some sweet potatoes to the mashed potatoes I already had. You can use all sweet potatoes if you want!
