So tonight I made the Shepherd's Pie from Skinnytaste.com. Although, my British friends tell me it should be called Cottage Pie since it does not contain lamb. I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical of her recipe as I was making it and I would probably change the order of a few things if I were to make it again, which I will make it again. This was delicious and comforting; perfect for a cold night in. I adapted it a bit to what I did, but make sure to visit skinnytaste.com for great, healthy recipes.
