When Atkins was really popular, I was in the thick of nutrition classes at college. Even if I hadn’t discussed potential health risks of the diet in my classes, I knew right away that I could never be an Atkins short-timer or lifetime-er. Fact is, I love carbs.

Oh, baby were these good. I mean REALLY good. I’ve been wanting something lighter and have seen recipes all over the place for chipotle roasted sweet potatoes. It got me thinking that I’ve wanted to try a meatless burrito with more than just, you know, beans. I wanted something that was low-maintenance and full of [...]

I know what you’re thinking: again with the potatoes! Well calm down. Take three deep breaths. Try these, and you’ll forgive me. Also, for the record, I promise we’re not all desserts and treats here. Uh…really. It’s just been an interesting posting month. Honest. Anyway. This is an easy side dish, perfect for weekends in.

mom’s creamy mashed potatoes and pea gravy

October 15, 2008

Growing up, there were a few recipes that I could count on my mom making when the weather turned colder. Without a doubt, we would see her vegetable cheese soup, white taco soup, and mashed potatoes with creamy pea gravy. It’s the epitome of comfort food to my mom, and I’d be lying if I [...]
