Leek and Onion Mashed Potatoes


This is pure indulgence.  Mashed potatoes with the works.  This is not for a diet and I don't suggest having something this "naughty" often.  For the holidays, indulgence is a little bit of the whole.  It is my time to bake and cook what I don't usually make.  All I can say is that these potatoes are yummy.

Onion and Leek Mashed Potatoes  (no dairy)

Ingredients:

5 pound(s)  potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
3 large leeks, chopped
1/2 stick margarine (1/4 cup)
1 3/4 cup(s) Rice Milk, warmed
1 container(s) (8 ounces) Tofutti sour cream

Method:

In 6-quart saucepan, place potatoes, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and enough water to cover potatoes. Set aside.

In nonstick 12-inch skillet, melt margarine over medium heat. 

Add leeks and onions and cook 20 minutes or until golden, stirring occasionally. 

Meanwhile, heat saucepot of potatoes to boiling over high heat.

 Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 10 to 12 minutes or until potatoes are very tender.

 Drain.

In saucepan, with potato masher, mash potatoes until smooth. 

Stir in Rice milk, sour cream, chives, leek mixture,  

Eat and enjoy!

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

Image
It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
