Saturday Savory: Shepherd's Pie

Today I have a cold-weather dish that is great for potato-lovers.

This recipe has a little twist in the ingredients to make it unique to other Shepherd's Pie recipes. Here is what you'll need:
  • 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • garlic powder (to taste)
  • milk (to taste)
  • 1 stick butter or margarine
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 1/4 pounds ground meat
  • 1 package fajita mix
  • 1 can (2 cups) whole kernel corn
  • 18 ounces brown gravy (canned or mix)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

If you want a slightly easier version of how to make this, you could buy 24 ounces of mashed potato mix and use that in place of the fresh mashed potatoes. You will still need to add garlic to the potatoes. Here's how to start this recipe:

Mash the potatoes to desired consistency, whether smooth or chunky. Click to enlarge.

 You're ready to go! Careful when serving and eating this dish fresh from the oven; it stays hot to the touch for quite a while! I hope you try this recipe and enjoy it. If you want to leave a comment, feel free to leave it below or on Facebook.

With Apologies to Robert Frost

I have a class for school called Speech. This is supposed to help me learn how to stand properly while speaking, pronounce words properly, and so on. The most recent section is on how to give meaning and feeling to a  poem when reading one out loud. My teacher, Mrs. Autrey, has been reciting poems to us as examples, and she uses a variety such as happy poems, sad poems, thoughtful and so on. One of them that caught my attention was a funny remake of the famous poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost.   The original is one of my favorite poems, and I have always loved the other poetic works of Robert Frost. Here is the original poem: Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening By Robert Frost   Whose woods these are I think I know.    His house is in the village though;    He will not see me stopping here    To watch his woods fill up with snow.    My little horse must think it queer
