Jake's First Shepard's Pie

For St. Patrick's Day I made my boyfriend Jake his first ever Shepard's Pie. 
 I made about six personal Shepard's Pie all in oven safe dishes; all different shapes, sizes, and colors.

Ingredients:
1 pound ground lamb (or ground beef)
1 onion
3 medium carrots
1 1/2 cups beef broth
1 Tablespoon flour
1 Tablespoon flavored vinegar (I used Fig!)
1 bag frozen peas
4 large potatoes 
1/2 stick of butter
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup of sour cream
3/4 cup mozzarella cheese

Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large frying pan cook meat over medium heat.  While meat is browning, dice onions and carrots, then add to meat.
Pour broth into small bowl and mix with flour.  Add to meat mixture.  Add in flavored vinegar and frozen peas.  Evenly distribute mixture into casserole dishes.
Peel potatoes and boil until soft.  Add butter, milk, and sour cream to potatoes and whip until smooth.
Top meat with mashed whipped potatoes.
Sprinkle cheese on top and bake for 40 minutes.

Peanut Butter Apple Dip

Okay I eat this multiple times a week because it's literally so good!  I use Justin's Peanut Butter (vanilla or honey or whatever flavor you want, I've even tried almond butter which works great too), organic Stonyfield plain yogurt, and just a touch of honey!  Than I mix it all up and dip apples in it, and sometimes eat it just with a spoon because that's how good it is.  It's simple, healthy, and taste great!  Literally my go to snack whenever I'm home. I'm trying to make a lifestyle change, the cliche trying to 'get healthier' and be healthier.  I'm not looking so much for weight loss, even though that's an added plus, but what I really want is to finally tone up.  My entire life I've always killed myself with cardio and would wonder why I never looked that great.  Well now I know why, so that's my goal, get healthier and leaner.

Birthday Cakes 4 Free, Nautical Themed Cupcakes

Nothing fancy, but this was a last minute request for the not for profit I volunteer for, Birthday Cakes 4 Free, Middlesex County, Connecticut .  I got this request from a girl's mom who said her daughter wanted a white cake with blue frosting and something nautical themed.  I only had four days, but I think they came out kind of cute. I got almost all my supplies off Amazon Prime.  Everything but the ingredients for the cake and frosting, but Amazon Prime saved me so much time and money and stress because all I had to do was go to my local grocery store instead of also going out of my way looking for craft store supplies, which probably would have left me checking multiple stores, while Amazon had everything in one place with free two day shipping. Anyway, I delivered the cupcakes this morning and the mother who sent in the request was so nice and extremely grateful.  She sent me the sweetest email I just had to screenshot it.  Hope everyone is hav...
