So far, I’m not sure what this carrot potato mash clashes with. I’ve tried! But I’m pretty sure it’s a subtly sweet and just-different-enough variation on the classic mashed potatoes that most will be game to give it a go. Are you?

Eye need a minute

We’ve all heard that carrots are good for our eyesight, right? Well, let’s just add one tidbit onto that for today and mention that dietary fats help us absorb and utilize the beta-carotene (that potent good-for-ya-eyeballs form of vitamin A) within the carrots. So, if fat-fear is still dancing around in our hearts even though we are so very fully and thoroughly out of the 90s–please consider feeling really good about the coconut cream that blends itself into this carrot potato mash. It’s making it happen, nutritionally!
