I KNOW it isn't officially summer for a few more days, but it definitely feels like it is! Not only is the weather warm and delightful, but we're in that \"enjoy all the sunlight and time outside\" mode that lets me know it's summer. Woohoo! I started my new job a few weeks ago, and am loving the office (when I'm in it!) - I sit right next to an entire wall of glass, so I can \"enjoy\" the summer weather even if I'm inside working. Luckily, I'm enjoying the work (and enjoying learning a ton of new stuff!), so I'm not pining to be outside (I mean, I always want<\/em> to be outside... but I'm doing that whenever I'm not at work!).<\/p>\n

This recipe isn't exactly a summer recipe, but I figured I'd get it on your plates just in case a cold front comes through. Or maybe you're planning for fall already? HA! I know the type: Jan 1 hits and they CAN'T WAIT FOR BOOT SEASON! I joke, kind of.<\/p>\n

This recipe is a vegetarian take on a classic dish: shepherds pie. I replaced the meat with lentils, and absolutely love the result! I did cook this in Pacific Foods Organic Beef Broth<\/a>, but you could use one of their vegetarian broths (like mushroom broth<\/a>) if you wanted to make it totally vegetarian. I threw in classic veggies, but this is definitely a recipe where you could use whatever you have on hand! Just be aware of cooking times with various vegetables - you don't want anything to get too mushy!<\/p>\n

Have a wonderful first week of summer - since it really is starting THIS WEEK!! YAY!<\/p>\nPrint<\/a><\/span>
