These naturally gluten free shepherd’s pie cupcakes are a fun twist on a traditional shepherd’s pie. They combine a meatloaf cupcake with creamy mashed potatoes and are topped with a steamed carrot garnish.
On Tuesday, I went over some of the basics of lapbooking in part 1 of Lapbooking Made Easy. Today, I’m going to cover the organizational aspects of lapbooking. What about all of those mini-books?
