Rachael Ray Challenge

Derek's cousin, Katie Thacker, and Katie's mom, Gayle, were trying to cook a Rachael Ray dish at least three times a week. Katie was then blogging about it. Her blog: http://over-the-shoulder-for-luck.blogspot.com/ This was so fun for me to read, mostly because Katie is a magnificent writer and I adore Rachael Ray and her meal ideas. My sister-in-law, Vanessa teases me that I am a Rachael Ray wannabe, but I honestly think she would be on my top list of celebrities that I would love to meet one day. She is hilarious! And yes, I watch her show everyday.

So I decided that I am going to try and make a new Rachael Ray dish at least once a week. I got her amazing new cookbook for Christmas from Derek.

What was on the menu this week: 30 Minute Shepherd's Pie. It was delicious! And Derek is always wanting me to make it. The only thing I changed was I added cheese on top. You have to have cheese on Shepherd's pie, right? I highly recommend this dish, it was a new spin on Shepherd's Pie that we all thoroughly enjoyed!
