good idea to use cauliflower. I would make it vegetarian and use lentils also. I may tally up the calories and check it out.

Skinny shepherds pie was delicious! Even my kids loved it. Can't wait to eat it again for dinner tomorrow. I pureed the cauliflower in my blender before adding it to the meat. If I didn't know I would have thought it was potatoes. So good!0
