I'm slightly obsessed with sweet potatoes right now!

It's fall, you can find an abundance of them in the produce section or at the farmer's market, and they're just SO delicious!

I've been roasting them, mashing them and now topping my Shepherd's pie with them!

Remember those amazing Zesty Parmesan Mashed Sweet Potatoes I shared here last month?!?

I used the leftovers to top today's Sweet Potato Beefy Shepherd's Pie! Can we say delicious?

This Shepherd's pie is ultimate comfort food!

The hearty beef and veggie mixture gets most of it's flavor from tomato paste and balsamic vinegar, which is an amazing flavor combo in this dish!

Plus, it's topped off with cheese. Who can resist all that cheesy goodness?

We ate this for dinner, and also had leftovers for lunch the next day.

Don't have sweet potatoes?

This would also be amazing with regular leftover mashed potatoes!

Give it a try with leftover turkey after Thanksgiving instead of beef. I love re-purposing leftovers into amazing new meals.

I really love getting into the kitchen and getting creative when the weather's cold outside!

Today I baked some Apple and Pear Crisp, and yesterday made a batch of this Easy Homemade Spaghetti Sauce!

My family just loves our favorite comfort foods!

There's nothing better than food like this, food that fills your belly and warms your soul!
