This was supposed to be my gym night, but I decided to do some cooking/baking for the week instead :) I made Quinoa Apple Muffins and Cauliflower-topped Shepherd's Pie. Both recipes turned out really good! The muffins are really dense, so maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but I like them. They are 4 Points+ and I think well worth it. The Shepherd's Pie...AMAZING! The bottom was a basic (I think) shepherd's pie - I used leeks (first time cooking with them!), carrots, red onion, mushrooms, green peas, chipotle peppers, ground beef, various spices and then I mixed a bit of flour with some beef broth to give it a bit of a gravy. Into my 9x13 pan it went. For the topping, I steamed cauliflower. Once cooked til soft, I added 1/4 cup light sour cream and blended it up with my hand blender until it was smooth. Spread this over the top of the beef mixture and bake at 350-375 for about 30 minutes. Top with 2 oz light cheddar cheese and broil until cheese is melted and bubbling. YUMMMMMMM!!!!!
