This Shepherd’s pie recipe looks great but I’m surprised that you include both earth balance butter and olive oil!! I thought I could never use olive oil again after everything you’ve said about any oils!! Is it acceptable to use oils in moderation? I’m working so hard to stay away from it since my medical issue is high cholesterol. Please advise.

That must have been an error. I did have some website help at one point and it must have slipped in. I often modify recipes I see to whole foods plant based and share. Occasionally, I don’t omit the oil/vegan butter by mistake. I am sorry. I do not use any olive oil or vegan butter. Those were the last thing that I eliminated personally about 5 years ago.
