Shepherd’s Pie

The girls are getting used to spaghetti squash and riced cauliflower.  Tonight Addyson said, “Mom… I’m going to starve.  This is cauliflower, not potatoes…  I just can’t.”  She dropped a little out of her mouth on the floor for the dog… (EYE ROLL).  She’s still calling me evil from the table.  Bryleigh was a clean plater!  She said it was good.  Jamie and I also approved. If you’re trying to have taters when you can’t have carbs, mashed cauliflower it is.
