Dr. Steph’s Shepherd’s Pie is gluten-free, tasty and the perfect dish to bring to a holiday event! Since the cauliflower is used as the crust- people can’t believe it’s actually good for you and can indulge! We usually eat the final result with a side of veggies but feel free to try it with a side of fruit salad ☺ Enjoy.
