Happy Monday everyone. Oh sweet sweet coffee, get into my body.
Anyone watch the Golden Globes last night? If so did anyone freak out over Tina Fey’s dress??
Talk about marvelous. She looks stunning!
Oh and I loved seeing my favorite:
Even if it was just for a few seconds
.
I had a pretty laid back night last night, which was quite marvelous after a very productive week and weekend. I finished homework, ran errands, and then made myself a fabulous dinner whilst watching the Golden Globes. I’m quite proud of my dinner! It was delicious and I will happily be be eating the leftovers all week.
Drumroll please…
(Sort of) Shepherd’s Pie
-2 medium sweet potatoes, chopped
-1/2 cup onion
-1 and 1/2 cups canned peas and carrots (I bought a mixed can of both)
-1 pound lean ground turkey or ground beef
-salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin to taste
1) Preheat the oven to 425
2) Bake the sweet potatoes for 20-25 minutes
(I hate cooking them in a pan, I always burn them and they take forever, but you could definitely do this if you have a big enough pan for all the ingredients and the patience to cook them all in there)
3) While the potatoes are cooking, put the onions in a non-stick pan over medium heat on the oven and cook for a few minutes, or until they start to turn translucent.
4) Put the ground meat in and cook until no longer pink/red.
5) Add the canned veggies and spices. Cook until everything is heated.
6) Take the potatoes out of the oven and pour the contents of the pan into the baking dish with the potatoes. Mix everything up and enjoy!
So hearty, healthy, comforting and of course delicious. Could I really ask for anything else?
Almost forgot, I watched the first episode of Girl’s second season on Hbo after dinner/watching the Golden Globes.
Seriously that show is too funny. I think Shoshanna is my favorite character, but I’m really just loving them all lately!
Off to class now. cCiao!




so I keep hearing about this Girls show but have never seen it, i am assuming you recommend it? that shepherds pie sounds amazing.
Oh totally. It’s really awkward humor, but it’s just such a good show. And it definitely gets funnier as it goes on. Like I was laughing out loud to myself alone in my apartment watching the new ep last night haha.
I’ve been hearing about it a lot too! I’ll have to check it out.
Totally!
Gotta watch Girls still! We don’t have HBO so I need to sneak a free half hour to watch it at the bf’s house sometime soon. I’m obsessed with Shoshanna as well I think she’s hilarious. And I was also freaking out over Tina’s dress I thought she looked absolutely stunning!
Shoshanna is just so odd and hilarious. I could literally just watch an entire show about her! And I know, that dress makes her curves look ridiculous (in the best way possible!)
We watched Girls last night and then when we turned on the Golden Globes, Lena Dunahm was accepting her award! haha it was too cute
Haha so perfect! I love her!
Oh that pie looks delicious! Nothing like a nice meal to have leftovers on all week. Also, I love Girls! It’s such a wild show. My roommate and I will definitely be watching last night’s first show tonight. Can’t wait!
Thanks! & the episode is REALLY good in my opinion! I feel like the show keeps getting better as it goes on.
Haha every morning calls for coffee! I actually didn’t watch the Golden Globes. I rarely watch normal TV now! Netflix all the way!
Same, but I flipped it on last night and caught them. Totally on accident btw, I had no clue they were on haha
My Twitter feed was FULL of people talking about Girls. I need to find it online today to catch up!
so good!!
I missed the golden globes!! So bummed I missed seeing everyones’ outfits (though im sure ill see them all over the internet and magazines in the next few days!)
I totally caught by accident, definitely almost missed it too. I bet they’re showing replays too!
Tina’s dress was beautiful! I only watched her and Amy’s opening monologue though and then I got bored haha. I wish I had HBO….I always hear such good things about Girls
ah it’s so good! I love HBO.
She looked stunning and so did Jessica Alba!!!
Hope your week is wonderful beautiful! <3
Agreed! And thanks Katie, you too!
Tina Fey looked SO GOOD last night. Hot dang – but in all honesty her and Amy did a fabulous job.
Agreed!
I thought there was SO many gorgeous dresses last night….love the nude/beige looks!
sammmeee. Love looking at all the fashion
I LOVED Tina Fey’s dress from last night, she looked stunning!! I also really love Amy Poehler & thought she looked very pretty too! Glad to hear that Girls show is funny… was curious about it.
Your shepherd’s pie recipe looks delish!!
Amy Poehler looked gorgeous as usual, but I personally think Tina stole the show. Flawless! & thanks! I ate it for lunch and dinner today… goodness I’m boring.
Tina looked amazing. I want her dress! I’ll have to check out that show!
For sure, it’s hilarious
Isn’t Tina Fey such a rockstar? Have you read her memoir? It’s been on my To Do list forever.
LOVE her. I haven’t read her memoir yet but it’s sitting on my bookshelf now!
Yeah, I didn’t see/hear about any of the Golden Globes, but I do have to say, LOVE that dress on Tina!
I totally accidentally caught them. Just happened to flip on the tv. I LOVE her dress. The picture doesn’t do her curves justice!
Gosh, I just love Tina Fey. I was recently reading an article with her an Amy Poehler and they are just great! Inspiring, funny, strong.. not to mention they killed it in Baby Momma haha. Your food looks great, too! I’m always in for anything with sweet potatoes
Agreeeed. They’re fantastic (both Tina fey/Amy Poehler AND sweet potatoes… Lol)
Mmm, I totally have been in the mood for some shepherd’s pie this winter but have been way too lazy to make it- love this spin! I bet TJ’s frozen sweet potatoes would be a good sub too
And I’ve heard hilarious things about Girl’s but have yet to watch it… Should try to soon!
I was TOTALLY thinking of using TJ’s frozen mashed sweet potatoes but didnt have any on hand! I was so sad when I realized I didn’t have any left. And you should totes watch girls, so good.
Ahhhhh that shepards pie looks amazing! Anything with sweet potatoes in it is delish
Ahhhh that looks amazing! Anything with sweet potatoes is delish
Thanks! It was really delicious. The leftovers were even better
Yep, Tina Fey looked amazing, and your sweet potato pie. I adore all potatoes, but especially the sweet ones.
SAME. Most things are better when they’re sweet.
Nice ‘sort of’ shepherds pie, looks yummy!
thanks!
Tina Fey looked BANGING at the golden globes, oh my gosh. And I’ve only just started watching girls (I know…I’m way behind on the bandwagon) but I’m enjoying it a reasonable amount.
Don’t worry, you aren’t behind on the bandwagon, I just started watching it two weeks ago (I may or may not have finished the entire first season in a day…..ooops…. not my fault! School hadn’t started yet and not all my friends were back
)
