This idea was pretty much handed to me on a fork! ;) My best friend Holly texted me one day and said that they were having shish kebabs the next night. Of course I was like, Yum! She then took it upon herself to tell me that I should make them for my blog. For some reason before she said that it didn't even occur to me. Probably because it's winter and my shallow mind thinks (or thought now) that shish kebabs can only be made on the grill.
As promised... new (and much better photos)!! |
Day 2 of beautiful spring weather and of course this time of year we all know that it's too good to be true. Tonight it's forecasted that we are going to get 4-8 inches of snow! Ugh! At least it's a little sign that spring might finally be on it's way and hopefully we won't get any more "polar vortexes"! St. Patties day is coming up too which is an excellent spring holiday and I do believe one of Adam's favorite.
Lately, we have been trying more and more traditional Irish dishes at home and when out to eat. One dish that I have fallen in love with is Shepard's Pie. It is a fairly simple recipe that has room for variability and play. Traditionally, it is ground beef with spices, peas, carrots and onions that is topped with mashed potatoes. You then bake it again to brown the mashed potato topping.
Here is our take on this classic dish. We only use two pans in this recipe so there is a very easy cleanup afterwards as well ;)
