The Harvest Party Menu was a big success – particularly for me, an experimental vegetarian shepherd’s pie was a huge hit! I loved it. If you tried it, I hope you loved it, too. There is something so satisfying about the savory butternut and white pumpkin topping with the green beans, mushroom, and chickpea filling,Continue reading “Recipe Thursday: Planters Cottage Pie”
