Simple Mashed Potatoes

November 10, 2020 By msmart Leave a Comment

This simple mashed potatoes recipe works just as well with skim milk as it does with whole milk, just use the variety you have on hand. Or substitute nut milk, coconut milk or chicken stock for a dairy-free version.

Simple Mashed Potatoes For a couple years, the only part of Thanksgiving dinner my youngest would eat was the mashed potatoes. Seriously, I couldn’t blame her. They are crucial to Thanksgiving––what better way to soak up all the gravy––but they’re also delicious on a regular old Tuesday night. Mashed potatoes don’t need to be complicated,…

Not that calories count in December. A little elf told me that one, but I’m not sure I believe it. (Whole 30, see you…

Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad

November 23, 2017 By msmart Leave a Comment

Ok friends. I swore to my kids I wouldn’t try to create a healthy Thanksgiving menu, but I do think it’s good to balance virtue and vice. When you have a table filled with probably twenty pounds of butter-and carb-filled side dishes, it’s important to have something green. Yesterday in the Houston Chronicle, I had…
