Shepherd's pie with Cauliflower Mash

Hello everyone!

Today i'll be sharing this shepherd's pie recipe with cauliflower mash instead of potatoes. It is a super easy one-dish meal and can last for several days. I normally make this during hectic weeks since it normally is able to last 3-4 days for my meal prep. I didn't add cheese to mine as a topping since I am dairy-free but it's such a good addition if you really love cheese!




Ingredients:



  • 1 head cauliflower, chopped into florets
  • 1 tablespoon coconut/olive oil
  • Seasonings and spices
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound ground turkey or beef
  • 2 small tomatoes, diced
  • 1 can corn
  • green beans, chopped
  • 1 green pepper, chopped
  • Lea and Perrins Worcestershire Sauce (Gluten Free)
  • Teriyaki Sauce (Gluten Free)

Instructions:


1) In a large pot, steam cauliflower and carrots until tender.
2) In a large skillet or saucepan heat olive oil/coconut oil. Add diced tomatoes, onions and garlic and cook until ingredients. Add the ground turkey/beef to the pan and cook until browned. Add seasoning for taste. I used himalayan pink salt, black pepper, garlic salt and old day all-purpose seasoning. Drain excess liquid and add carrots and green peppers. Add ketchup for thickening/ taste (optional).
4) Preheat oven to 400 degrees. While the meat simmers, start the cauliflower topping by draining the cooked cauliflower. Add 1 teaspoon butter, salt, pepper and mash with a stick blender until smooth.
5) Lightly grease casserole dish then assemble pie by adding the meat mixture on the bottom of dish. Add 1 can of corn and mix into the mixture. Top the mixture with cauliflower mash and smooth with a spoon. Cover with shredded cheese (optional).
6)Bake for 30 minutes or until the cauliflower mash is brown. Serve warm.



I hope you enjoy this super simple but tasty and healthy recipe!

For the love of Nude

Is it safe to say that nude is the new black? I'm finding a serious liking for everything nude this fall. I wore this outfit for a simple day of classes but I can also see this being worn in the workplace, for running errands and paired with black pants for an interview. This soft blush top from H&M easily pairs well with pretty much anything. I got this top in a medium because I love the loose fit since it is a sheer top. These shoes from Aldo are perfect! They are extremely comfortable, stylish and goes with just about anything, find it here and of course, my bag is my Dagne Dover 13-inch tote in the color Bleecker Blush.

Smoothies Anyone?

Yes please! Truth be told, I never really was a smoothie lover before my remission diet. Not the healthy kind at least. Now I find it to be the easiest thing to make before a busy day of classes or work. I've been trying to master this smoothie thing for a few weeks now but it can be a little time consuming trying to figure out what the best fruits and ingredients to use will be. The first few I tried were pretty bad in terms of the taste being a little off but I've been learning what portions work best with others and these two happen to be my favorites so far. I'll be sharing any other really good ones that I happen to come across as well.




I really wish I could tell you all exact measurements but I really just threw ingredients in until I was satisfied with the taste. I will update this post with exact measurements once I figure out what they were. The ingredients used in the green delight smoothie was kale, pineapples, mangoes, chai seeds and unsweetened coconut milk. The tropical mix has vanilla protein powder, strawberries, pineapples, chai seeds and unsweetened coconut milk. Have a great weekend!
