Aunt Joanne's Vegetable Mush (named by Atticus:-)

So, I was so hungry that I forgot to get a pretty picture of the vegetable mush before digging in. It was yummy!!!

The original recipe for this dish comes from the Fat Free Vegan blog. I made this for the first time several months ago and was baffled as to why it didn't have much flavor. Potatoes are yum! Veggies are yum! So potatoes and veggies together should be yum yum! The next day when I was eating leftovers I decided to add a little butter and suddenly this dish tasted amazing. Clearly, my taste buds are not ready to part ways with dairy.

I made this again a few weeks ago when my family was over and my nephew, Atticus, decided to name it vegetable mush. My sister Michele made this at her house the same week and added chicken. Atticus declared that he liked my recipe better. Score one for the vegetarians!!! Woohoo!!!

I still follow the basics of the recipe. I just use butter and milk for the mashed potatoes, add any veggies I like and leave out the mushrooms.

Enjoy the recipe. Especially you, Mom:-)

p.s. Sorry for the poor quality of the photos. I'm working on it.
