Paleo Shepherds Pie
As a shiftworker, I tend to eat 2-3 meals a day with my crew. I am blessed to have a supportive group of people to work with, each of whom has jumped on the paleo bandwagon. All of us have a favorite type of food to cook. Tiffany is a very 'southern, comfort food' sort of lady. Tonight she made a paleo version of one of her favorite dishes sheperds pie, and it was great!
