Mashed potatoes has met its match in our household! These tasted great, and are low carb, too. The combination of flavors was perfect. DH says he could eat this every week. (High praise for him.) I used mixed shredded cheese instead of parmesan, but I'm going to try parmesan next time. Thank you, Atiekay, for posting this wonderful recipe. -
This is really a nice side dish, very tasty, healthy and filling! Loved the addition of the celery, added a surprising flavor and texture. Thanks for sharing your recipe! Made for Spring Pick-A-Chef 2012

Hi! My name is Katie and I live in Minnesota - just a bit southeast of the Minneapolis. I am employed at a great company called BI, working on loyalty marketing programs. I've loved to cook/bake for as long as I can remember. I grew up helping Mom dump ingredients while she was baking and was the official 'stirrer' until I was old enough to cook.
Cooking/baking is the ultimate stress reliever for me. I love to cook for others and am discovering how much fun entertaining is:)! Besides my FT job, I have a small business creating websites. Other interests of mine are inline skating (annual marathon in Sept.), long distance running (love 1/2 marathons), watching Friends DVDs, traveling, and reading.
I find myself searching the Zaar daily for recipes and new ideas and I'm always excited to rate some of my faves!! I am working on posting more of my own, but determining my measurements is proving rather tricky.
