First up, we got more snow last evening. It must be 3-5 inches. I walked to the post office and it was definitely different depths.
Second, tonight is Cookbook Club. We read Stephen and Evie Colbert's cookbook. I've made this chicken salad recipe and will serve it on mini rolls. There are 18 people coming including some non-cooks like Dan who will enjoy tasting everything.
It's a book worth reading.
Now for a thank you to Denise of An English Girl Rambles. She posted a recipe for Shepherd's Pie on Monday. I was planning to use ground turkey in a turkey loaf but after reading her recipe decided to try the Shepherd's Pie. I tweaked the recipe a bit (don't we all?) I used ground turkey, substituted ground sage for the rosemary, added celery, and also thickened the sauce with a mix of flour and heavy cream (leftover from making a tart).

...you still have some serious snow!!!
I love shepherd's pie or cottage pie. Shepherd's pie is made with minced lamb and cottage pie is with minced beef but otherwise the same recipe. Yours looks delicious.
Shepherd’s pie with ground turkey sounds great. I may give this a try.
Pie looks scrumptious! Thanks for the book info. Have just reserved it to read. Take care. Kris in Ohio
The thing about snow in March is that it will go away sooner rather than later.
We also had a bit more snow this week, thankfully a lot melted with a warm=ip yesterday. I also read Denise's post about Shepherd's Pie which Patrick made this weekend using the traditional lamb filling. Whenever. I made one it's called Cottage Pie made using ground beef.
Lovely books, I enjoyed learning about them. Thank you so much for the shout-out Marcia. I am very happy you enjoyed the recipe. Yes, we always tweak them, and tune them to our own taste, that's the fun part of cooking. Thanks again and have a lovely rest of the week.
So sorry about all that snow. I hope you are going to be getting the same higher temperatures we will. Hopefully this will be the last of your snow falls.
We have a cook book club at our library.
The Shepard pie looks delicious

We love Cottage Pie. And my chicken salad recipe is very similar--but I leave out the raisins and almonds. I usually boil the chicken with curry powder in the water--which makes a tasty broth for a curried broccoli soup
I like the photos of the snow and the cookbook. The shepherd's pie looks delicious!
That's a lot of snow! So pretty. While reading the recipe from the Colbert's cookbook, I noticed the reference to the Spoleto Festival. We were in Charleston visiting friends many years ago and attended a concert or two. Thanks for the memory jog.
