I love Samantha Seneviratne shepherd's pie. I add frozen peas because that's how we made shepherd's pie at my summer camp, in a big Dutch oven over a campfire. (Unreal.) It's so warm, delicious and extremely hearty. I also love how Sam mixes ground lamb with ground beef. I've never heard of that before and it's out of this world. Making this is always a task. We took our time so it was fun, and gave us something to do besides watch movies.

I love to skate outdoors, to enjoy the rumble as my blades cut through the ice, then the pop-pause- swish of landing a toe loop or lutz jump. But ice-skating is more than artistry and mindfulness. It's a full-body workout that demands energy from ample carbs and protein. The crossovers, turns, and glides that work glutes, abs, and calves require as much endurance as running but with less impact (all while wearing a pretty dress).

Fluffy, delicious, and making plenty of room to add your choice of wholesome toppings, baked potatoes are an excellent side dish that can be prepared a number of different ways. Between the oven, microwave, air fryer, and more, there are many ways to bake a potato - and even more ways to spruce them up with your favorite ingredients. Chili is a winter staple that's sure to provide even more delicious and nutritious value to bulk up your baked potatoes in the cooler months.
