“Sheperd’s Pie on the Fly”- Vegan Sheperd’s Pie with Sweet Potato
Last night was “Iron Chef” night in my house. In other words, I take a bunch of different ingredients from the fridge and pantry that I need to use and throw them together to create one dish. I ended up with a quick and easy Vegan Sheperd’s Pie.
Do you think Iron Chef Cat Cora wants to tango in kitchen stadium with me?
