From Skillet to Table
Sometimes the best remedy for the doldrums on a cold winter day is a warm skillet meal. Y’all know how much I love my grandmother’s cast iron skillet – seasoned to perfection – and this Skillet Shepherd’s Pie is a wonderful way to warm the bellies in your home. The fresh rosemary & parsley adds a fresh zing to this traditional dish. Try it and let me know what you think!
