Food and Recipes while under Coronavirus quarantine #8

Shepherd's Pie


I make it with minced beef, lamb is not very good or easy to get here.

Brown onions (used 3 today) in some butter.

Add beef stock and minced beef a couple of minutes later. I also add a tin of tomatoes and leave to simmer. Add a tablespoon of flour towards the end.

Meanwhile make mashed potatoes.

Put the meat mixture in an oven dish, add parsley and cover with mashed potatoes. You can add cheese on top if you like. Into the oven until golden.

Good served with steamed carrots and a green salad.

When my brothers and I were growing up we made Toad in the Hole with white bread (remember Wonderbread?) and Kraft cheese slices.

As an adult, my favorite version of Toad in the Hole is sourdough bread, Gruyère cheese, and snipped green onions.

I meant to buy a corn beef and forgot. Maybe they’ll still be on sale at Detwilers today.

Just pulled my spaghetti squash out of the oven. Smells really good. I layered the tomatoes & feta to try to infuse more flavor while baking. I added pepper, salt and fresh basil. I stirred the filling a little after 30 min.

Tomatoes & basil from my garden.

Woke up to 47 degrees so a chilly day for us.

Your tiny tomatoes look so good! I'd be snacking on them all day

I have so many, picked a bunch of yellow ones today. I bought 2 zucchini yesterday so I can roast them together. My friend makes this zucchini tomato dish and it’s so good. So it’s my next experiment.

I found a corn beef and was shocked at the price per pound. The pointed pieces were $7.99/lb but the flat pieces were $8.99/lb. I’ve never seen the types separated and have never seen them so expensive. I bought a small flat one, a bag of carrots and 3 Idaho potatoes. I have a medium head of cabbage from the last food pick up.

I still have 1/2 my acorn squash and 1/2 my spaghetti squash to finish. I’ll wait a few days before I make another big meal. I ended up putting 1/2 the chicken friend rice in the freezer.

We went to Cava for lunch today after the quilt group meeting. Everyone loved my Steampunk quilts, one for the new baby boy due in April and the other for me.
