Hello! In the kitchen with Sharon this week is Denise Shorten making her special sheperd’s’s pie. This looks like a great low carb dish for anyone that is on the low carb diet, or it just looks great for anyone who is not on a diet.

I have known Denise for many years. She is not only a great person, but a great cook. I appreciate all of these wonderful recipes everyone is sending in. Everywhere I go people are commenting on them. So, keep them coming.
