Sheperd's Pie


As requested by the Mr. I tried to make Sheperd's Pie. With the lacking of ingredients, there were some changes to the recipe. I used instant potatoes instead of making my own and I had less than a pound of beef to work with. I didn't have any actual broth or stock, so I used 'Better than Bouillon.' And I only had some left over carrots and broccoli to add as veggies to the dish.


Banana Muffins


So I went ahead and tried these the other day. As usual, I did make a couple of slight changes. It seemed like a ton of sugar so I did a little less than 1 cup of sugar and somewhere close to 3/4 cup of brown sugar. I also accidentally added a whole teaspoon of Cinnamon (plus some) cause I misread the recipe. And only three bananas were added cause that was all I had. And I didn't make an frosting cause I was making muffins xD Not cupcakes... I took them over to Family Night Dinner and most seemed to enjoy them. The flavor was really good though I personally thought they were a little dry but were amazing when eaten with a glass of milk.

Sausage and Cheese Crescent Squares

 Original Site
Recipe

Very good! I added sauteed onions and red bell peppers as well as using two different kinds of cream cheese (Chive and Onion as well as garden veggie). With the onion-y cream cheese as well as actual onions, it was a touch too much for me but Mr couldn't really taste it. The biggest thing I would change the next time I make this is the bottom crust. I think I will either back the bottom layer of dough partially or cook the whole thing on a lower rack because the top was very done but the bottom not quite cooked. Still tasted amazing!
