Comfort Food


Everyone needs a little extra love, right? Here's an easy dinner fixen' that will fill your tummy and warm your heart (trust me, it will).

Paleo Shepherd's Pie:

1lb Lean Grass-Fed ground beef
Cinnamon
Cumin
1/4 cup white onion, chopped
Fresh veggies (I use chopped carrots, sliced radishes, chopped white mushrooms, and chopped celery)
1-2 sweet potatoes
Organic Vegetable/Chicken broth (optional)
Olive oil

Pre-heat oven to 420. Heat up skillet w/ olive oil. Add onion and let simmer for 5min. Add meat. While meat is browning add in a dash of cinnamon and cumin -- begin to boil peeled/sliced sweet potatoe(s). Once meat is brown, add chopped veggies. Reduce heat and keep on burner for about 5min (you can add broth here for added juices... that's what she said). Once sweet potatoe(s) have softened, remove from heat and drain excess water. Mash potatoe(s) and beat w/ hand-mixer (you can add almond milk if you like a creamier consistency). Pour meat/veggie mix in casserole dish, distribute evenly. Using a large spoon, scoop the sweet potatoes on top of the meat/veggie mix. Spread evenly w/ spatula and then 'comb' with fork. Throw it in the oven for about 15-18 minutes. Serves many, great for left-overs!
