  1. Lovely flavourful mashed potatoes. I used a Chipotle garlic spread. No butter, they really didn't need it. Just made enough for 4 servings, we had some for supper tonight and will finish them for tomorrow night. Quite delicious, I elected to leave the skin on, we like them that way; the colour was a little orange/yellow because of the Chipotle but still looked very appetizing. I will make these again, perhaps trying different flavoured cheeses, thanks for posting.Feb 21/10 - did this again for supper tonight, delicious! although i tried the bursin cheese this time and we do prefer the other cream cheese, this had not enough flavour and had to add garlic to it, but it was still delicious!
     
  2. I did use the butter and they were a hit with the family.

I live in Chagrin Falls, Ohio a beautiful area with a waterfall in the middle of town. During the summer you avoid this area because the "conelickers" come to town. They come to town, go to the ice cream shop and go see the falls, therefore the "conelickers". I am a stay at home mom to a wonderful 16 year old daughter and a great 14 year old son. I have been very blessed. I am also trying to adopt a 4 yr. old little girl who is in foster care, and our social services in the county are awful, but we are fighting to get her. I am in charge of our neighborhood Gourmet Club. We have approximately 30 couples in the club. We meet 3-4 times a year and the recipes are usually theme related (chinese, mexican, bbq, Kentucky Derby, etc.) My passions are my kids, food and I love dogs. I have two dogs, both rescued. They are an american eskimo and a border collie. They are very high energy, but greatly loved.
