December 4, 2011- Lentil Shepherd's Pie (Vegan)

Lentil Shepherd's Pie (Vegan)

This is a yummy dish that we make in the crock pot. It is a take on traditional shepherd's pie but had lentils with other veggies. It has lentils, carrots, celery, tomatoes, and onion. On top there is a mixture of regular russet potatoes and sweet potatoes. The normal recipe calls for cheddar cheese but to make it vegan we just don't put any cheddar cheese on it. It all goes in the crock pot on high for about 3-4 hours. Which on a Sunday is good. I don't remember what the setting for low is. It is a delicious and hearty dish that has a good amount of protein and flavor.

Also, when we made pie in Orange County I had one pie dough left from the pumpkin pie. So I decided that I wanted to use the pie dough up and I wanted to make a pie that didn't require a pie dough on top. So I made an apple crumble pie today. It has a caramel sauce that was drizzled on top of the mound of apples that we had to slice. It looks absolutely delicious and we can't wait to eat it! :)

Hopefully we will finish everything and then start making dinner again. It has been fun not cooking the past few days but we look forward to eating some fresh food. Not going to post a picture again because all of these things have been posted. Have a great day everyone!
