I love going to restaurants, then backwards engineering dishes at home…particularly, salads and Asian cuisine so you will likely spot me in Uwajimaya in Seattle on the weekends. :)

Shepherd’s pie gets a spicy (and dairy-free twist) with this delicious take on the traditional dish. Mashed sweet potatoes are layered over curried beef, onions, and carrots creating a warm and comforting meal for cold evenings.
