Sweet Potato Shepard’s Pie

When the weather changes and winter coats come out of storage, I know it is time to bust out my favorite cold weather dishes.  One of my favorite comfort food dishes is Shepard’s Pie.  The dish uses my favorite red meat, lamb, and it combines my favorite herbs, rosemary and thyme.  One year when I…

Fettuccine with Champagne and Lobster Cream Sauce

Sometimes you just want something super fancy and extra decadent…Champagne and lobster will help you achieve that!!  I don’t normally cook like this, I try and keep things simple and easy to make, but every once and a while I want to try something that is challenging.   For me, lobster is both a challenge…
