Sheppard's Pie

You will not believe how much we talk or think about food, from recommending a dish, restaurant or even voicing a sudden craving!  This morning I was talking to a friend about Sheppard’s Pie, a traditional Irish comfort food. I remember growing up and having our own family version of this as a kid with not just a traditional mashed potato topping, complete with potato chips and, every kids favorite,-Ketchup! I guess I know what I am having for dinner! Do share your thoughts on Sheppard’s Pie and how you give it your own individual attitude of flavor-I personally like to cook the meat with a bit of Worcestershire Sauce; a real pungent tangy kick in the mouth!

Escargo!!!

Do you remeber when Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman launched her snail across the hall while tryin to eat her escargo!!! Well if you're ever in Vermont do try Shanty's Escargo and variety of beers - Now those snails have ATTITUDE!!!

Sunday Dinner

Happy Monday Everyone!

Hopefully you all had a great weekend, today's subject....Sunday Dinner! My family favorite is the old fashioned Meatloaf! Little secret, if your worried about dry meatloaf, I use already prepared stove top stuffing as opposed to just breadcrumbs, it eliminates the salt factor because it's already packed with a variety of seasonings. Also for some kick to your bite, use your favorite BBQ sauce!-Do share you favorite Sunday dinner meals and secrets! Also if you know some good spots to dine out for some home style meatloaf, that would be great! Bon Apetite!

Comfort Food!!!

on a rainy day or during the cold winter season, sometimes it's nice to cuddle up on the couch, "veg-out" and enjoy a comforting favorite; whether it be, buttery mashed potatoes, mac 'n' cheese or.....my personal favorite chicken pot pie!!! I had the pleasure of making this easy yet delish delight with a friend... Please do share what your favorite comfort food is, and share some recipes!
