I'm all about comfort foods right now. Potatoes, pasta, cookies, you name it. This whole "end of the world" thing has got me feeling a certain type of way.

Turkey & Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie
I've been on this kick lately of eating comfort foods. Filling casseroles, meat and potatoes, and barbecue. Maybe it's because I know those meals won't be appetizing once summer rolls around, or maybe it's just a random craving I've been experiencing. Who knows. I've really started to enjoy shepherd's pie for dinner, though. I made… Continue reading Turkey & Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie
