Tonight's dinner -

Fresh squeezed lemonade, red beans and rice, cornbread (low fat - sweet, made with applesauce) and greens with basalmic dressing.

(or, if you're Newt, 37 pieces of kibble)

Pretty carby, but I'm craving comfort food that's easy to make.

What I'd *really*like is some vegetarian shepherds pie, and a cold beer, but one works with the ingredients at hand. (plus, SP takes me an hour to make...it's worth it, I can eat off of it for a week.. but I'm Scotto the lazyman tonight.)

What exactly is Shepard's Pie, or perhaps I should ask....What is your particular version of Shepard's Pie?

It must be hearty, if you can eat off of it for a week.....

Shepherds Pie

Ingredients:

1 can of refried beans (kidney beans could also be used)
6 medium-sized potatoes
1 onion
1 red capsicum (green could be used but doesn't suit as well I reckon)
4 cloves garlic
1 zucchini
1 head of brocolli
Half a cup fresh peas
2 cups fresh spinach
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons mild curry powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon cumin powder
2 teaspoons mustard seeds
1 tablespoon sweet paprika (but NOT Hungarian sweet paprika - urgh!)
2 tablespoons soya mayonaise (more if thicker sauce desired)
1 tablespoon tamari
Directions:

Serves: 4-6.

Preparation time: An hour.

Fry peppers and onions. Steam broc,zucch, and spinach over the boiling peas. Boil and mash potatoes. Sautee garlic and spices in pan. I like to add mustard seeds first. Add mayonaise to spices and follow this in with beans. As beans come to boil add vegetables and tamari. Place sauce in casserole dish then spread potatoe on top with fork. Bake in medium hot oven until potatoes are brown. Hold your forks up high!
