WOW!! What a smile!! What a cutie pie!! Love your show. Viewing your recipes with ground meat and vegetables reminded me of a dish here in Texas they call "picadillo." Check it out. Best regards.

You so beautiful
Красивая женщина готовит вкусную и красивую еду под приятную музыку и голоса детей. Что может быть прекраснее?
Lili says you live in FL. I always kind of wondered why you wore your wedding band on your left hand. We have a place in Venice on the Gulf but are seldom there. next time we are though we’re getting in your DM’s!🤘🤘
Careful with those finger tips!!!
My mom used to cook a "potato pie" – "torta de batata" in portuguese – very similar to the second recipe, even the drawings with a fork reminded me of that… very nice to listen to your baby girl talking in the bottom!! Regards from Porto Alegre 🇧🇷
my God, what a woman!
Looks amazing Sophie. Thank you for sharing these recipes with us.
Thanks!
Brava e Bella 🤍 🇮🇹

Strangely enough, my wife cooked that second recipe yesterday and we had leftovers today. We call it Cottage Pie in England, but if it was made with lamb as opposed to beef, it would be called Shepherds Pie. One of my wifes standard dishes and my daughter-in-law loves it too.
Que linda ❤
