Mondays are crazy busy days in our house and trying to figure out what’s for dinner can be challenging. And that is what I love so much about Emeals. It is a menu planning service that helps you take the guess work out of dinner. Each week, they send over a menu plan for 7 nights complete with recipes and shopping list. You can choose from the menu plan that fits your life including Classic Meals, Clean Eating, Paleo, Gluten Free, Vegetarian and more. You can even select the menu plan that is based around the sales at select grocery stores.
Monday’s recipe comes from the Emeals Publix Plan. It’s a delicious and easy to make Shepherd’s Pie that the whole family gobbled up.

Shephards pie freezes pretty well. You could always make a double batch and freeze for later.
I also would use ground turkey and I think I would half the potatoes and add cauliflower to substitute otherwise I wouldnt eat the cauliflower but a little cheese is a must on top!!!! Yum this makes me think of Ireland and oh my mom said its beautiful
I make up my own emeals list!! I do exactly what they do, and I just rotate the weeks. Look at how much money you can save by doing it yourself!!!
More Disney Money!!!!
Kristen, Could you give us an update on how your diet is going?
I remember reading in one of your posts that you would keep us updated, but I haven’t seen anything.
We’ve used crushed up cooked cauliflower in place of the mashed potatoes & have had great success as well :] & no beef for us, so always chicken broth & ground turkey.
Jessica, most grocery stores carry a product called IMO – it is non-dairy sour cream sold in the same case as the regular sour cream. You’ll get the sour taste and the all the fat that the sour cream adds without the the lactose.
My son is lactose intolerant. Could I substitute the sour cream for butter spread do you think?
