Healthy and Family Friendly Shepherd's Pie

Hi Mamas,

Today I am sharing with you my recipe for my Healthy and Family Friendly Shepherd’s Pie.

I make it also for my 1 yr old little girl. She normally eats everything and anything, however, lately she has become fussier with her veges. So I am trying many different ways to get her to eat as many veges as possible.

She really loves mashed potato and I have been adding zucchini into it, to increase her green vege intake. This was definitely a winner for her!
