Easy Shepherd's Pie
Here is the recipe for the easiest Shepherd's Pie ever! We love this dish around here, and I love recipes that are quick, easy, and inexpensive.
Ingredients:
4lb Potatoes, cubed (try to pick a variety that doesn't turn floury or mushy in water)
1/4 Cup Butter
1/4 Cup Milk
Dash Pepper
1lb Lean Ground Beef (1.5lb if using regular)

Have you ever had a simple moment transform your whole day? Today I found grace in the grocery store.

The last two days have been a blur, as we toiled away in our large garden patch. It's been a labor of love, and we pray something actually grows!
We moved to our acreage home last April, and the yard was not in the best shape.

It's true, no coffee so far today just loads of tea! I even rolled up a rim this morning to no avail (Tim Horton's you wound me!). Maybe that's why I feel so unproductive.

1. Do you know what your REAL hair color is?
Mud puddle blonde. I fear that I could be on the cusp of a slow transition into white but I don't look that closely out of respect for my self esteem.
