Comfort Food

Sometimes you just need some comfort food. I woke up in the night thinking about creamy mashed potatoes. Now how can you make mashed potatoes without milk and butter, you may ask. Well, we have learned that if you use a little of the water that you boil the potatoes in, a little veggie broth, and some soy milk, salt and pepper - and whip them with that big Kitchenaid mixer, you get some EXCELLENT mashed potatoes! I used a pack of that fake chicken that we like, browned it in a skillet with a little broth, and made some gravy with soymilk. We ladled that over the mashed potatoes, had some English peas and some cream style corn and a hunk of homemade bread that I made earlier today. Sounds like alot of food, doesn't it? Well, it WAS! And it was delicious and hearty. We may pay on the scale tomorrow for the quantity we ate - but there was only 8 grams of fat in the whole thing - not just one plate - the whole dinner. Yummy.
