Shepherd’s Pie in a Skillet

This recipe is fairly simple and easy to put together. You could leave off the French Fried Onions if you like. I might also try it with some shredded cheese the next time I make it.

If you don’t have an ovenproof skillet you could transfer the meat mixture to a 9×13 greased casserole dish and bake.

** I have been informed that it is technically a ‘Cottage Pie’ as it does not contain lamb… but you could make this with ground lamb if you like. Continue reading “Shepherd’s Pie in a Skillet” →

Homeschool: Acorn Crafts

What a better way to celebrate the changing of the seasons than with some fun crafts? This week we are doing some different Fall themed crafts so I’ll try to take some pictures and post them so you can use them in your home as well. Most kids love art projects and my kids love ones that involve scissors and glue. (They love glitter too but I’m not that brave today…lol.)

This idea would really work for just about any shape you like for any season… just find or draw your shape and let the kids decorate with torn paper, paint, buttons, beads, or things they might find on a nature hunt. Just have fun with it!

Whoa! I had never looked at like that but now I do and I try to be as thankful as I can for everything even critical remarks and comments. I definitely don’t want to be considered a thief.

Just Because: Not My Birthday Present

I’ve recently updated this post and we have since passed this Keurig on to a friend and went with a bigger option as we both enjoy our morning coffee and although I am not drinking as many k-cups as before I love the hot water feature for my Dandy Morning Coffee and instant oatmeal.
