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&#8217;t even vegetarian-friendly.  But I came across this recipe the other day for &#8220;Sweet Potato and Chickpea Shepherd&#8217;s Pie&#8221; 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.
