Veggie Friends

I think its happened more than once.  My sister will be attending or hosting an event where vegetarians and sometimes even vegans will be hanging around and she wants to prepare a dish that will appeal to them.  And she will also be looking for something more interesting than cut-up sticks of carrots.  So she asks me.  I have no idea.  My salads aren’t even vegetarian-friendly.  But I came across this recipe the other day for “Sweet Potato and Chickpea Shepherd’s Pie” and thought of her and her vegetarian friends.  I even went so far as to imagine replacing the small amount of butter and sour cream in the recipe to make her vegan friend happy too.  Woo.  That was a lot of work.  There is no way I have enough energy left to actually make this now, so you try it and let me know how it is.
