My husband started grocery shopping last week. I must say he did a pretty good job. He spent more than I usually do, but he did get everything on my list and used a few coupons. He will continue to shop for the next month or so while the boys are in soccer. I am sure the more he shops the better he will get at finding the best deals.
My breakfasts and lunches are staying the same, basically because it is easy to make the same thing every week. The kids know what to expect and they like routine.
This week Org Junkie is asking us to submit family recipes. Shepherd’s pie is my kids’ favorite meal. Usually a 9×13 pan does not even feed the six kids.
If my menu looks a little repetitive this week that is because it is, why mess with something that is working!

Shepherd’s Pie
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground turkey
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- Garlic powder
- 1 can cream of potato soup
- 1 small bag frozen corn
- Mashed potatoes (enough to cover a 9 x 13 pan)
- Grated Cheese (cheddar, colby, jack… your choice)
Brown turkey on stove top, add onions during the last 3 minutes of cooking, I also season with some garlic powder. Mix turkey and onions with the cream soup. Spray a 9 x 13 pan with nonstick, then spread the turkey mixture in the bottom of the pan. Then layer the corn on top of the turkey, finally spread the mashed potatoes on top of the corn. Bake covered for about 25 minutes @ 350 degrees. During the last 5 minutes of cooking uncover the casserole and sprinkle with grated cheese.

Hey! I had so much fun last week being the guest Kitchen of the Week blogger! And it was fun getting to know my mother in law’s kitchen! We are doing oven drumsticks this week too! And I’m going to do a new variation of Shepherd’s Pie called “TX Cowboy pie” with shredded beef roast on top of potatoes with cheese! Coming in a few weeks…

Great menu! I’m going to try that shepherd’s pie probably next week. YUM! That chicken sounds similar to one I’ve made and it is out of this world. I haven’t made it in a while either. LOL!
Have a great week!!

I like the chicken recipe and may have to use that in the next week or so. I also like having spaghetti but I’ll wait until hubby is home from work next week before putting it on the menu or I’ll have way too many leftovers and the kids won’t it eat reheated.
Hopefully we’ll be having pizza here this week as well.
