Mashed Potatoes

For the holidays we committed to bringing some mashed potatoes to my sister-in-laws for dinner.  We had made these potatoes for the holidays before (from the website) and knew that they were good.  This is a really simple recipe to make and includes cream cheese (how can you go wrong?).

You can find this recipe on the Internet at The Pioneer Woman's website:

This capped off a cooking marathon the day before Christmas.  We cooked these potatoes, some cookies, and other desserts for the family meals that were coming soon.  There was a lot going on in the kitchen.

It was a lot of fun to cook up all these meals, the only problem is that it also leaves a lot to clean up.  My wife and I have struck a new deal, since I am doing all the cooking, I will also do all the dishes.  In return, I am now exempt from laundry.  On this day, I believe I got the short end of the stick.

Next up are fresh cinnamon roles on Christmas morning.

Looking forward to "eating" with you soon.
