Did you see that Dictionary.com Twitter account tweeted that Gif is pronounced with a soft G?!?!?!

I am excited about this because I am in the ‘JIF’ camp. Not the hard G camp. Nope nope nope!!!! I basically feel vindicated in this tweet. I know that people will disagree with me, but when the creator of Gifs, says it’s with a soft G… then it’s with a soft G, damn it!!!

Ultimate Healthier Mashed Potatoes

January 10, 2012

I am of the camp that worships lumpy mashed potatoes. While I have plenty of issues with the texture of foods I am eating, I love the contrast of a bit of firm potato that is cozy with some smooth, velvety mashed potato. I think mashed potatoes is such a great food since it is a great side and a great starter to other reuse recipes, like potato pancakes or soup. Plus potatoes are so affordable that they can help keep you making great dinners and keeping budget.

With the new year upon us, I thought I would share with you a great mashed potato recipe that is a lot healthier than a lot others out there. Now is the time for everyone to resolve to loose weight or save more so a mashed potato recipe is a great way to start the new year. We are trying to do both so I anticipate making some fun recipes with potatoes like this in the upcoming year.

These mashed potatoes use substitutes to make it healthier while still having great flavor. We pretty much only have skim milk in the house so I use that instead of a full fat milk. I do use butter but not too much considering the size of the batch of mashers. The thing that really makes these mashed potatoes thick an flavorful is low fat sour cream.
