Irish Shepherd's pie--for St Patrick's Day---
 
Originating from the early 1800’s, this shepherd’s pie recipe is a traditional Irish recipe. There is debate over where Shepherds pie originated. 
Some say it originated in Scotland or that it originated in Northern England.
 It’s a hearty dish where women had to get creative with leftovers.  The basic structure is having a savory minced lamb filling topped with a layer of mashed potatoes. The filling is usually simmered with onions, carrots,  and peas. Sometimes celery is added.

The author uses chicken broth with lamb and she uses beef broth with beef.  She also uses 

The author prefers to use a large oven-safe pan rather than a casserole dish (making it almost a one-pan meal), but you could transfer everything to a casserole dish as well.

Dutch Pancakes
 
I am someone who rarely cooks from scratch. So when asked to add a recipe to a 
cookbook or newsletter, I have few I can recommend. However this time of year 
reminds me of a special recipe my mom makes every year for brunch. It's called 
Dutch Pancakes.
Ingredients-
½ cup flour
½ cup milk 
2 large eggs 
• 2 tablespoons sugar 
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Powdered sugar, maple syrup, and jam, for serving
Instructions1. Blend the batter. (flour, milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt) in blender or food 
processor for 10 seconds, stir and then 10 seconds more.
2. Rest the batter. Set it aside for 20 to 25 minutes. This gives the flour time to 
absorb the liquid. 
3. Heat the oven and the oven safe skillet until oven is 425.
4. Melt the butter. And swirl in hot skillet to coat bottom and sides of the pan. 
5. Add the batter. Tilt the pan so batter runs evenly on all sides. Put skillet back in 
the oven. 
6. Bake the Dutch Baby Pancake 15 to 20 mins. It should be puffed, lightly brownedon top and darker brown on sides and edges. 15 to 20 mins.
7. Dust with powdered sugar and cut into wedges. Serve hot. 
As a kid my favorite part was watching how puffy it gets. My mouth is watering 
remembering this special food. Love, Mary.
