Healthy Sheppard's pie

Sheppard's Pie is one of those homemade comfort foods, but that doesn't mean it can't be somewhat healthy.  For me what really makes this meal delicious is the lamb you can however use any type of meat or even a meat substitute if that's your thing.  Lamb is packed with fats as well so if you are watching your fat you might want to choose something more lean.  Anyway back to the recipe

Prep time: 20 minutes  Bake time 20 minutes
-1 lb ground lamb
-1 cup kale
-1 cup broccoli
-1/2 cup shredded carrots
-tablespoon coconut oil
-1-2 sweet potato

1. Preheat oven to 350F and grease square baking dish
2. Peel, chop and boil sweet potato
3. Cook ground lamb until no longer pink (drain fat)
4. Saute veggies in coconut oil to soften a bit
5. Mix meat and veggies and place into baking dish
6. Cover (like frosting a cake) the veggies and meat with the sweet potato
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes
8. Cut into 4 servings

BREAKFAST BAKE

When watching carbs I find it easy to cut out quite a few carbs by having an egg based breakfast.  I would love to wake up every morning and make a fresh omlete, but it just isn't practical for me ( I need my sleep) This egg bake makes meeting your protein goals easy as well as making your taste-buds happy! Enjoy!
