This is where tweaking recipes can be fun. I've become a huge fan of dump cake and I enjoy changing ingredients to see what else I can make. This latest version was worthy of adding here.

My fiancée recently told me about some lemon-blueberry bars she had for breakfast from a nearby eatery, and I thought it might make an intriguing variant for dump cake. It turned out quite tasty I thought.

I discovered this recipe before Thanksgiving and made it for desert then and for Christmas Eve and night parties. It was a hit at all three events! This is so easy to make -- the hardest part is waiting for it to cook!

"Easy" Cottage Pie (aka Shepherd's Pie)

I made cottage pie last night for dinner, and if the lack of leftovers is any indication, it was a very good dinner. This is a simpler version than the traditional, however there is still a little prep work involved. I prefer to use instant potatoes, gravy, and canned or frozen vegetables.

By the way: According to most sources, if you use lamb, this is called Shepherd's Pie. If you use beef or any other meat, it is Cottage Pie.
