Not really the right time of year because it's getting so warm, but since I'm going back to school next week, I need some stuff that can be frozen and pulled out as needed and Shepherd's Pie would be a good one.  Does anyone have a recipe that they love?  Suggestions to replace the potatoes on top?  Turnips maybe or something else?

hmmm....how about a pureed squash or something for the top? Ground turkey for the middle? Hope you find a good one!

Racheal Ray hsa a recipe for meatless shepards pie and she uses parsnips for the topping. she also has one using turkey and sweet potatoe topping. you can view these at www.foodnetwork.com. you can do search for Raceal Ray and shepard's pie. It looks fabulous Ihave yet to try it. the meatless one uses portabello mushrooms.
