Irish Colcannon

This is a St. Patrick’s Day staple! It’s hearty, quick and so easy! You can substitute collard greens or any other green leafy vegetable you like.

Not-So Traditional Cottage Pie

I had some leftover beef from last night’s BBQ Bacon Sliders, so some Cottage (or Shepherd’s if you’re American) Pie it is! Good thing too because some of my red potatoes were sprouting.
