Steps to make Family favourite shepherds pie:

1. Heat the oil in a large pan (oven proof if possible to save on washing up!) Add the veg and cook for 10-15 mins until lovely and soft.
2. Add the beef mince and cook for 5 minutes or so until browned. Now add the Quorn mince and cook for a few minutes.
3. Sprinkle over the Oxo cube and paprika and stir into the mince. Add the balsamic vinegar and stir again. Add a few tbsps of stock and cook for a minute or two to allow the mince to absorb the flavour.
4. Sprinkle over the flour and stir well into the mince mix. Gradually add half of the remaining stock and simmer for a few minutes. The liquid should start to thicken. At this point, add the marmite and the tomato puree and stir again.
5. Add a little more of the stock and keep adding until the "gravy" reaches the desired consistency. You may not need all the stock.
6. Season the mixture with salt and pepper and take off the heat. If you have time, let the mince mixture and the mash cool a little as it's easier to build the pie when its had time to cool down.
7. When ready, pour the mince mix into a large ovenproof dish. Spoon the mashed potato on the top and fluff up with a fork.
8. Cook in a preheated oven at 190˚ for about 25-35 minutes. (If you have left the mixture to cool completely beforehand, reduce the heat of the oven to 180˚ and cook for 40 - 45 minutes.)
9. Serve with some fresh green veg whilst piping hot. Try not to fall out over the crispy bits!

The same is true for lunches once we frequently resort to a can of soup or even family favourite shepherds pie box of macaroni and cheese or some other such product as opposed to putting our creative efforts into producing a quick and easy yet delicious lunch. You will see many thoughts in this guide and the hope is that these ideas will not only allow you to get off to a terrific beginning for finishing the lunch rut we all look for ourselves in at any point or another but and to use new things on your own.

Take to sandwiches using different breads. Believe it or not, my children love trying new items. It’s a rare trait which is why I’m extremely thankful. Trust me I understand all too well how blessed I am. Her favorite sandwich choice is now Hawaiian candy rolls. We set the meat, cheese, mustard, and pickle in her roll as though it were a bun and she’s thrilled. You can replicate this on your oven for a couple minutes for a infrequent sandwich cure. The cooking area is very minimal and you also do not have to own comprehensive knowledge of anything to prepare or delight in those straightforward snacks. Other great bread ideas include croissants with cheese and ham or chicken salad, taco pitas (yet another great popular in our household), also paninis (this works well if you’ve got a George Foreman grill or even a panini press).

While that is in no way the end all be all guide to cooking quick and easy lunches it’s good food for thought. The stark reality is that will get your own creative juices flowing so that you are able to prepare wonderful lunches for your family without needing to complete too terribly much heavy cooking at the approach.
