I am always asking the question of "Where did this come from?" This dish is no different.
It seems Irish and English housewives were in the practice of using leftovers in different dishes. So, leftovers from a Sunday dinner would end up as part of a Shepherd pie.
You don't have to use leftovers. Although, you could.

Before working with Juanita
"Before I started the Leap diet, I had IBS with bad diarrhea and frequent gas, inflammation in my lower legs, muscle cramps, headaches, joint pain, heel pain, and muscle stiffness. I felt a lot of sluggishness.
"After doing MRT/Leap, I don't have to worry about having diarrhea at work or when I am out places. I can walk more than I used to.
I now know how my body reacts to different foods and I don't have the issues from the IBS and pain and stiffness in the different areas of my body that I had before I started the Leap diet.
Juanita is one of the most patient, kind and helpful service provider I have ever worked with in any capacity. She is very knowledgeable, and has been a great support. My life has truly changed for the better thanks to her."
