I cleaned out my vegetable drawer and threw in a hodgepodge that would have been unusable in a few more days had I not come across your fantastic idea. I made mine sans meat, cooked the veggies with a pat of butter and added a splash of soy sauce to darken the flavors, shook in some Italian seasoning, which REALLY added a bang, and some hot pepper flakes. Great stuff.

I love the toddler, BTW, he really makes the videos, even when he’s being, well, a toddler! You’re a great mom! I get a big kick out of seeing him gnaw his broccoli and pepper so possessively! And yes, he ate quite a bit of your sweet potatoes, no wonder he didn’t want to try it after it was all done, he was full!

I get frustrated with DD quite easily! I have eaten Shepherd’s Pie for years – my mom’s recipe anyway. I’ve never thought of using sweet potatoes, I’ll have to next time!
Here’s how we do it:
can of green beans, layered on bottom of 9×13
mix ketchup & worcestershire (to taste-I like mine ketchup-y) with 1 lb browned ground beef. layer on top of green beans
add a layer of mashed potatoes
top with grated cheese
bake at 375 until cheese is melted

I don’t measure my ingredients, just throw them together!
Next time I make mine, I’ll use ground turkey, sweet potatoes, and reduced fat cheddar cheese to lower the points value!
Thanks for all you do – You’re amazing!

I have one just like it… bug convo and no stop talking… I think we live similar “mom” lives, just miles apart.

Although he might have been a partial distraction it would not be the same without the toddler. It is just a phase that we will all have to patiently wait through. ;-)

Oh….PS….Attention ALL RONI fans…I submitted Roni to the Oprah show via link to oprah.com . If you have a free minute please log in and recommend her too. She has inspired so many and could possibly inspire more with the right help. Maybe we will get to see Roni (and Ryan) on TV!!! Oh…what if she made the Oprah book club w/ her cookbook. Get to work bloggers! :-)

Shepherd’s pie in the UK is made with ground lamb, peas, gravy and mashed white potatoes.

Your version looks so much nicer that we are going to try it this weekend.

Thanks Roni for another great recipe.

My DS was 4 in April. The bug thing is driving us insane too. I always tell him he’s a boy-he’s not supposed to care about bugs! And the why stage…oh gosh that’s fun! ;) My DS never stops talking either. I think it’s a first born thing. But Ryan is so cute! I love it when he’s in the videos!

HA HA, I had my 2.4 and 3.5 yr old daughters watching and I said, “see how hard it is to be a Mommy” Love it, and boy you kept your cool! Thanks for another great recipe, ever since the Spaghetti Squash (which I happen to have one in the mcro right now) I have been a HUGE fan! thanks for the weight loss (I swear my spaghetti squash).

I have been watching your videos for awhile and I love them and I honestly can’t wait to try this one! I have never been a fan of sweet potatoes, but I am going to venture out and try them in this recipe. Thank you so much for your blog and GLB! I have been so inspired by you and have gotten so many tips and ideas! THANKS!

P.S. I absolutely love that your “toddler” is in these videos. I think it adds so much to them! I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old and my 3 year old acts almost the same exact way as Ryan!! You are doing an awesome job!

Melissa

I love watching him eat that pepper. I think you would have had enough sweet potatoes if Ryan hadn’t eaten most of them!
