Shepherd’s pie is a favorite at my house. Every bite contains basically everything you should want from a meal: protein, veggies, carbs (my girls love the mashed potatoes…). Plus, it’s yummy and really hearty. This recipe also freezes well. Once you’ve assembled your pie, let it cool, cover it well (either with plastic wrap and […]

While it’s fun to try more advanced recipes in the kitchen sometimes, I love a good simple meal. You know, the ones that can be whipped up in about 15 minutes on a busy weeknight? This sausage pasta is that. The cooked sausage makes for a super flavorful sauce and the peas give it a […]
