Description:

Picture this setting. Imagine it's near the holidays, and you're bundled up in warm winter clothes. The fireplace is warming you with its gentle orange glow. On TV is a cheesy holiday movie that makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside by the end of it. And, to top it all off, a warm and inviting Shepherd's pie is in the oven. I don't know about you, but if that doesn't just yell comfort, then I don't know what does! And let me tell you, aren't many things more comfortable than a tremendous homemade Shepherd's pie. In the style of WFPB, we've created a pie that can hopefully bring you the warm, comforting, and inviting feeling of the holidays to your kitchen. We love it, and we hope you will too!
