    30-Minute Monday Skillet Shepherd’s Pie

    I honestly can’t believe it’s Monday already! Man, where does the time go?  This week we’re going comfort food, and what says comfort more than a saucy, meaty filling with veggies and mashed potatoes piled high on top?  Pretty much nuthin’ if you ask me.

Naturally, I’m betrothed to a man who LOVES peas.  I mean all out, get you in mah belly, I could eat three bowls each day LOVES peas.  God has a sense of humor all right.  Because I love my dear Stud Muffin, I make him Split Pea Soup, but I add ham because I love ham.  Throw pork into a soup and I’m a happy girl.  Throw peas into a soup and The Stud Muffin is a happy Man.  Combine them, and you have two happy people eating a rather tasty bowl of soup, even though it does contain a pound…
