Boy, I can't believe that it has been over a month since my last post :( I have been busy with school and life so I guess I have an excuse. With my committed interest in Pinterest I have found some great recipes and have tried them out. I do have an update on the lettuce vacuumed in a jar......it works great and I had a salad after 14 days of it in my frig and I had maybe 2 or three leaves that I didn't want to eat but the rest was just as good as the day I purchased it. We even tried the mix salad from a bag with the purple cabbage and carrots and that worked also. My son loves this! When he comes home from work he has an instant meal without the chopping. Last weekend we had our 2 bathroom sinks barely draining so I went to Pinterest (i know this is nothing about food) and found a homemade drain cleaner. We added baking soda to the drain and then vinegar until it pooled in the sink. Let this sit for 10 - 15 minutes then take a kettle of boiling water and pour down the drain and it unclogged and is still working great after a week! My son was amazed and so was I!
Well back to my new recipes:
Leon has been hungry for Shepherds Pie and he wanted it with lamb. Well I made it but not with lamb but ground Beef.
Shepherds Pie
1 1/2 pounds of ground beef
1 small onion diced
1/2 cup of Beef stock
2 cans of Cream of Celery Soup (undiluted)
1 package of frozen mixed vegetables
Mashed potatoes for 8
1 cup of shredded colby-jack cheese
Brown the ground beef with the onion. Drain any fat. Add the beef stock, cream of celery soup and mixed vegetables. Let this cook for 5 minutes. Meanwhile make your instant mashed potatoes. Transfer the ground beef mixture to pan and then spread the mashed potatoes on top. Sprinkle with cheese and then bake for 30 minutes at 350 degree oven. I served this with biscuits for a nice winter meal.
