sturdy girls

don't get me wrong, this house is practically built on vegetables, but sometimes you just need some mashed potatoes, red meat, and biscuits. for times like that, i make shepherd's pie.

it's been a long running joke that we're sturdy girls.  getting seconds is not a foreign concept in our kitchen ...

i did, however, keep the recipe a little healthier than the one above. if you're interested, use fat free milk, lean beef, olive oil to saute, and omit the butter on top.

i enjoyed an evening with cassi (top left) and abby (the wise roommate pictured center) enjoyed the pie. guys... it was so good.

in all seriousness, today i'm thankful for best friends, dean, and Jesus. because work was tough, but between them and cooking, i was able to gain some perspective and relax. what can i say? it's just a sweat pants and comfort food kind of night.
