When I saw these potatoes on Holly’s blog a few weeks ago, I knew I had to make them. I scribbled the recipe down on a sticky note and stuck it in my kitchen, and tonight was the night.
Vegan mashed potatoes + steamed spinach
To make the mashed potatoes, I tweaked Holly’s recipe a bit. I boiled a pound of red potatoes, then added ¼ cup toffuti cream cheese, 1 tbs. earth balance butter, salt, 1 grated clove of garlic, then topped them with sliced leeks. They were almost too creamy – if there is such a thing. Garlicy, creamy, and oh so satisfying.
In the 3rd grade world…
(Fare warning, this is gross. Funny, but gross.)
I walked into a conversation that a few of my students were having today during carpool and almost gagged. What were they talking about, you ask? Well, the only 2 sentences I heard were:
My dad’s poop is SO big.
Oh, so is mine!!
Uh, what?! Thanks a bunch kiddos – next time I see your dads, I am quite sure I won’t be able to erase that image. I warned you it was gross .
I feel like all I ever type on here is “lol” regarding the 3rd grade stories… but again, I am definitely loling at that one.
Lol!!! Kids are shameless, I think it’s hilarious sometimes the conversations I hear my nephews speaking about! Things that would normally make anyone gag…
Ha ha gross!! The conversation, not the food
today, one of my students asked me if broccoli makes poop green…..yea, kids can be gross
Haha you have to give it up to kids and the things they think about.
Hahahaha. Kids are too funny. They’ll talk about anything that crosses their minds.
I love mashed potatoes, any kind really, but yours look most fabulous…I guess that the Irish girl In me coming out!
Those potatoes look great and that conversation is hilarious! Gross, but hilarious.
katie – SO glad you loved the taters! seriously, delish. i heart the idea of adding cream cheese to it as well. must try.
i also love the plethora of apples on your blog lately. they make me happy. i wish i could send you minnesota haralson apples – they are the crispiest, juiciest and most yummiest apples on the face of this earth. in fact, i am eating one right now
and yes, let’s be friends in real life.
hearts,
holly
