In today’s Fat Loss Quickie “Day In The Life” video, Angie and I share one of our favorite healthy dinners that our kids also really enjoy. The healthy dinner is homemade Shepherds Pie. I know that there are a variety of ways that you can make Shepherds Pie and today we tried something slightly different. We baked it in the slow cooker instead of the oven. Mainly because it’s so hot out and our air conditioner is already working overtime ;)

Directions:

Cook lean ground beef in a medium a medium saucepan with finely chopped onions and garlic. (We also used ground chicken and turkey with this recipe and it’s outstanding!)

While your beef is cooking boil white potatoes. When your potatoes are soft, drain the water and mash them with skim milk and seasonings of your choice. ( we often boil our potatoes with a few garlic cloves which also get mashed). We haven’t tried this yet, but I’m sure that you could also use almond milk as a substitute for the skim milk and even add some almond butter.

If you make mashed potatoes in a different and even healthier way, we would love to hear about it and have you share it with our readers.

Next… after your potatoes are mashed and lean beef cooked, simply place the lean ground beef in the slow cooker followed by a can of creamed corn and finally add your mashed potatoes on top.

Turn your slow cooker on high and cook for 20-30 minutes.

We have had several of our valued readers ask us to share healthy meals that the entire family will enjoy and this Shepherd’s Pie recipe is definitely one of them as you can tell by the expressions on our children’s faces at the end of the video above ;)

We rarely have any worries about our daughter Noelle. She eats just about any fruit, veggie, or meal that we put in front of her. Yesterday she at an entire bowl of raw veggies that were sitting on the dinner table before we had a chance to get the main course to the table.

Shayne is our picky eater and he does enjoy junk food ;) We have experimented with a variety of meals to find the ones that he does enjoy (or can put up with). We also make sure that he gets the recommended amount of fruit and veggies in his diet. There are only a few fruits and veggies that he likes so we make sure that we are always stocked up on them. As we continue with our Fat Loss Quickie “Day In The Life” videos you will see just how picky he is and what we do about it ;)

I hope that you enjoyed this behind the scenes look into our household and we look forward to sharing more with you tomorrow.

We sincerely appreciate all the questions and feedback that you have submitted to us and we are ecstatic about recording videos in response to your requests.

Have an absolutely outstanding day!

To achieving your limitless potential,

Scott Tousignant
