We get it! There are times when you want mashed potatoes exactly as they were intended - smooth, creamy and without cauliflowers or some alternative. These mashed potatoes are full of all the good stuff and none of the bad stuff.
For some variation try a dutch yellow potato instead of the traditional russet for a creamier texture.
As a side note...we don't consider full fat, grass fed, organic butter as "dairy," as far as our hormone balance goes (its all fat and void of lactose), so enjoy it.
*Gravy choices - look for organic - I find mine at Whole Foods, and its gluten and dairy free, and still tastes amazing.
Real mashed potatoes, real healthy
Peel and chop potatoes - boil them in water until tender.
While potatoes are cooking, place garlic in tin foil and pour over olive oil. Cook these in over or toaster for 40 minutes.
Mash potatoes and add all above ingredients. If you chose not use the garlic, still add the olive oil when mashing the potatoes
Add salt and pepper to taste or a healthy (gluten and dairy free) gravy.

Old injuries resurface without warning. Often, these symptoms are dismissed as “just aging” or immediately labeled as arthritis. However, for many women, the real issue is far more specific
Read MoreIf you’ve spent even five minutes on social media lately, you’ve probably seen it: “Lymphatic detox.” “Drain trapped toxins.” “Flatten your belly by fixing your lymph system.” And while the lymphatic system does matter, a lot of what’s being sold online right now is wildly overstated — and in some cases, flat-out misleading.
