Shepherd’s Pie (AIP, Paleo, Whole30)

November 17, 2015 by Marissa Franklin 2 Comments

Shepherd's Pie (AIP, Paleo, Whole30)

I recently discovered that I love shepherd’s pie. It wasn’t always this way. 

Up until now when I heard someone mention it, it didn’t excite me or make my taste buds go crazy. Maybe it is because growing up I only remember eating ‘shepherd’s pie’ that came in the Marie Calendar frozen variety. And my sister was kind of obsessed with them.

I couldn’t figure out what was so special about it growing up. 

And I especially couldn’t figure out why my sister loved them so much. I’ll have to ask her what her current take is on the lovely frozen variety of shepherd’s pie. It could spark a lively discussion hehe.

Fast forward 10 years and here I am—an avid shepherd’s pie lover.

At least when it is made this way with REAL ingredients and tasty as all get out. There is something so comforting and homey about this AIP Shepherd’s pie. I love that I get a dash of vegetables, satisfying carbs from the Japanese sweet potatoes, and a healthy dose of grass fed ground beef all in one bite. Although I would suggest adding some more greens to your plate if you want to up your nutrient density even more!

This shepherd’s pie is perfect for a busy weeknight.

Well, it works for any night of the week really. And it reheats wonderfully!! I hope you add it to your meal rotation as this is one you won’t want to miss!!

  • 2 T ghee or fat of choice

Instructions
  1. Steam japanese sweet potatoes using your preferred method (I used my Instant Pot steam function for 15-20 minutes).
  2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  3. Cook bacon over medium high heat and set aside.
  4. Brown ground beef and add in sliced carrots and celery when the meat is halfway browned. Season with 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1 teaspoon dried savory, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder. Cook until beef is browned and vegetables are softened. About 5-10 minutes. Covering if necessary.

  6. Spoon ground beef/carrot/celery mixture into a 9x11 inch pan and add bacon (chopping it up into small pieces)
  7. Layer sweet potato mixture on top of the ground beef and bake at 375 for 20 minutes. If you want it slightly browned, broil for 1-2 minutes watching carefully to make sure it doesn't burn.
  8. ENJOY!!!

Fall Spice Coconut Butter (AIP, Paleo, 21DSD)

Fall Spice Coconut Butter (AIP, Paleo, 21 DSD) | Joy-filled Nourishment

This fall spice coconut butter is magic. Gold. Glorious. I am loving it so much with a juicy green apple these days. I have always enjoyed plain coconut butter but the addition of these delicious fall spices puts it over the top. And the fact that it resembles peanut butter definitely makes me love it more. I had a slight obsession with peanut butter up until about 2 years ago when I realized it wasn’t doing me any favors in the slightest. You can pretend it’s peanut butter as you dip your apples if you would like…I’ll keep it on the down low.

I bought a pound of coconut flakes last week (to double this recipe) and my husband and I consumed the WHOLE jar of coconut butter within the past week. So if the same thing happens to you, don’t worry too much…it’s totally normal.

I think this coconut butter would be delicious on just about any fruit and also a lovely addition to a smoothie. Or right off the spoon. Whichever you prefer. If you have 10 minutes then you have got to make this.

First put all ingredients in your food processor…
