Another Lucas's Favourite Meal

This is not a traditional Shepherd's pie recipe as i don't have the required sauce like the Worcestershire sauce and ran out of tomato sauce too. Furthermore, i substituted lamb with beef. However overall still taste good as my kiddo loves it. I guess it will look much better if the mashed potato were more golden brown but didnt want to burn my pastry. Next time probably can put the pastry later since it takes so long to brown the potato.

The meat sauce is not as much as those minced beef i wanna finish all.

See the little gingerbread man and star? thats Lucas's work. He insisted that he wants to cut the shapes out himself using the cutter of course. He did press pretty hard and quite beautifully done. Its always good to involve the kids in the cooking.

Lachie didnt get to taste at all. He asked this seeing lucas eating his pie.

Mommy.. where is my porridge?

oh... so no choice i got to cook simple porridge for him. haha
