One of the meals I regularly made for my family was fish pie, white fish in a cheese or parsley sauce mixed with mashed potatoes. This was so my one fussy eater wouldn't refuse to eat it, I sprinkled it with grated cheese and browned it in the oven.
The amount of fish included depended on how much I could afford so my children nicknamed the dish Hunt the Fish Pie! It was always a popular meal, so cheap and tasty.
Today I made Hunt the Shepherd's Pie although I have no idea whether the mince I used was lamb, beef or turkey. When I purchased it I divided each pack into four and froze them individually. I didn't label any of it because I don't care what meat I'm using.
So I started with a small block of mince that I had defrosted and to it I added the following veg, all chopped into smallish dice. Carrots, onion, red pepper, cherry tomatoes and spinach. I also added a handful of oats and some red lentils. As it's just for me and I'm not trying to deceive a fussy eater I haven't grated the vegetables, they are all in chunks. When I made this for my children the vegetables were all grated.
I shall top this with mashed potatoes and serve with broccoli. I'm feeling hungry already so I will eat soon.

Sounds just the job for this cold weather. Catriona
How nice to just make the dish the way you like and not have to worry about picky eaters.
I have never had fish pie! It sounds interesting though. Seems weird as I live in a coastal town in Florida - but all of our grocery store fish are imported and "farmed". Makes me not very interested in buying them! Will start looking for something better and give this a try! So happy you are back online.
Sounds lovely. It's great to see you back to blogging again.
Oh, that sounds so tasty....and nutritious too! I made a fish risotto the other day, it was quick and easy too.
I love the fish story! Your dinner sounds very tasty.
That sounds like a perfect meal for this weather. You make great food
