What you need:
10 potatoes, washed and peeled
1 large leek
1 onion
3 carrots
1 clove minced garlic
1 32 oz container of veggie broth (or 2 bouillon cubes and 4 cups of water)
1 - 2 cups water (or as much as needed)
1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
Food processor
Salt and pepper to taste
What you do:
Pour the broth into a pot and heat on high.
Now wash and chop the leek and onion and place them in the broth. Add in the minced garlic too.
Cut the potatoes in eighths and carefully place them in the broth. You don't need to waste time cutting them smaller since you'll be mashing them with the food processor after they're cooked.

Hey guys,
The other day I was browsing the net and I came across a
wonderful recipe for the Deluxe Potatoes they sell over at Mcdonalds in France and Spain.
I'm telling you, these potatoes are SO DARN DELICIOUS, they taste like fried,
oven baked, spiced up, crispy in the outside, rather soft in the inside FULL OF FLAVOR potato wedges!
The best part is...

Here's the pics (below the recipe) - my flash is messed up on my camera so they look pretty crappy but oh well.. Ignore my ugly stove too, please. It's about 20 years old, came with the house, and I hope we can replace it this year.

I just made this tonight. It's fabulous and pretty easy. Basically you stuff the mashed potatos under the skin of the chicken breast and cook.

Tandoori turkey in the oven
For a few years now I've wanted to try to marry the traditional Southern Indian food my husband grew up enjoying with Thanksgiving as I know it (Southern girl with a love of spice and heat).
So this year I did a trial run of a tandoori-style turkey made in the oven. By next year I hope to build my own tandoor, or at least grill this guy, because it needs a little more heat to crisp up properly.

Ok, Jen said she'd never made Mashed Potatoes before, so I made them last night and took pictures. I love my recipe, but I make them very plain, so this is a Basic basic basic mashed potatoes recipe.
I made just enough for me and the hubby, so I only used two potatoes.

I love me some mashed potatoes, especially on Thanksgiving. The problem is that this dish is usually overloaded with tons of butter and cream, which can be a big problem if you're trying to stay healthy. One way I make my mashed potatoes healthier is by using Yukon Gold or Yellow Finn potatoes instead of the old stand-by, Russet potatoes.
