So what to do if you cannot eat Potato and are limited to Rice, well you get creative. So here we go, No Potato Shepherd's Pie. It is really simple.

Ingredients (organic vegetable fresh or frozen, these are just suggestions, use your preferred vegetables)

5 carrots chop in bite size pieces
3 stalks of celery
Half a bag of frozen spinach
2 peeled and seeded zucchini
a bag of frozen peas
1 parsnip
half a bag of string beans cut into smalled pieces
1 plantain cut in bite size
tea spoon of garlic
tea spoon of salt
tea spoon of ginger
ta spoon of black pepper
tea spoon of turmeric
2 table spoon of olive oil

Topping

3 cups of Adzele's Gluten Free All Purpose mix
1/4 cup of olive or grape seed oil
1 table spoon of baking powder
1/4 cup of warm water
1 tea spoon of oregano
1 tea spoon of salt
1 tea spoon of garlic
1 cup of warm water

Directions 

Turn oven on 375 degrees
Vegetable
Put whatever vegetables you would like on the stove and lightly cook till all the seasoning are well mixed in. The ingredients on this list was what I happened to have on hand. Cook for about ten minutes and then pour into a 13 by 9 baking pan.
Topping 
While that is cooking in a bowl add  the flour and the other dry ingredients. Mix and set aside. Add the wet ingredients together allowing the baking powder to react before adding it to the dry ingredients. While whisking, slowly add the full cup of warm water. You do not want the batter to be too watery but to have a cake batter like consistency. Once well mixed, spoon it over the vegetable in the baking pan.

Cook for 30 minutes. Let it cool a bit and serve. My kids like it, and it is not "rice again!!!!"
