It's been the kind of weekend that required comfort food. The wind has been blowing up a storm and the rain has lashed against the windows. Why would anyone want to go out in that. Yesterday I made a huge cottage pie. I topped it with a mix of potato and turnip mashed together with a load of butter and plenty of salt and pepper. I can honestly say that using good quality minced beef makes such a difference. We had half for tea last night and the other half for lunch today... Then I made my first ever waffles with the waffle maker. We have had it for ages and I usually toast sandwich wraps in it. I've never attempted waffles before and they were absolutely delicious.

Oh my goodness!
ReplyDeleteThey both look and sound delicious!!!!!
How do you make the chocolate ones??
They were lovely. I will do another post and put the ingredients and method
DeleteI always like to add swede to the potatoes when making Shepherd's Pie. Haven't made it in years though as my husband doesn't like it and I can't be bothered to make it just for me. Enjoy yours, it looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteI think I would be tempted to make a big one and divide it into single portions.
DeleteLovely waffles!! Just the ticket for such a stormy day.

All sounds delicious, coming from my background - yep good quality meat is always the best, high quality - smaller portions. The waffles sound tasty. Emmax
ReplyDeleteI am a great fan of both cottage and shepherds pie yummy.
ReplyDeleteYour food looks delicious. I've been out in the rain and snow, but it's gorgeous here. Dog love walking and running in the snow.
