Do You Know How? - bjcotton - 03-30-2008
During my wait to go into the hospital again [It's scheduled for May 1st for the MRI] I need to eat low-fat stuff. I have a craving for creamy mashed potatoes [with lumps of course]. I usually use butter and heavy cream to make mine, but need to use something else so they are low-fat. Any ideas?

HI,
After my boyfriends heart attack we had to adjust our diets. I use fat free half and half and Light I cant believe it is not butter. For some reason that fat free half and half works much better than milk. It is creamier and adds a nice flavor. I actually use it for all my cream sauces and soups. Works great.

Hey buddy, reduce some chicken stock to about half and add a little buttermilk (just a little!)--whip it up and let me know!!

They both sound good! Why didn't I think of that? Hey, I go in to buy my new stove today! Yahoo!

Have fun with it Billy!
How about cottage cheese mashed in?

Stock is very good, and we used to use skim milk for mashed taters when Bob's brother was living with us. He had to have low fat because of his cholesterol. It really made the fluffiest mashed ever.

I use Simply Smart fat free half and half and it works great. Stock is a good idea, too.
Have fun shopping!

It's a rare day that I can go out shopping...usually have taken too many pain pills. I sent my BIL out the other day to buy me a new Accu-Chek Glucose Meter...he came back with the strips instead. He never seems to get what I send him for, so I've pretty much quit asking him...if I send him for a chuck roast he'll come back with a rump roast or a ham. Seems he's too embarrassed[?] to ask.
