    The Ultimate Thanksgiving Menu Plan

    11/22 /2 Comments

    Thanksgiving is a BIG deal at my house and since I love to cook, I say bring on the appetites! With only a few days to go I will be doing a lot of cooking.

    Skillet Shepherds Pie

    06/04 /No Comments

    This is hands down one of my favorite dishes! It is meat and potatoes so what’s not to love, right! Leftovers are minimal and this is super easy to make. I don’t have exact measurements for my seasonings as smell is how I gauge my dishes. You can also substitute minced garlic for garlic powder, or use both. Hope y’all enjoy! Super easy and tasty dish perfect for weeknight dinner. You can also make this a day ahead and reheat.
