A close cousin to Shepard’s Pie (made with lamb), Cottage Pie is made with tender beef simmered in gravy with bits of … Continue reading »
This is my version of the classic dish, Chicken/Turkey Tetrazzini. I absolutely love it – you can’t go wrong with pasta, creamy mushroom sauce, tender chicken (or turkey) and the light crunch of almonds. It’s always a hit whenever I make it – and it makes a lot.
