Check out the world according to eggface website, she has a lot of great recipes, then stick 'em in the blender.

So I had always thought that mashed potatoes, one of my favorite things to eat, would have to be cut out because potatoes contain a lot of carbs. But I'm seeing a lot of people on here mentioning they eat it. Was I wrong all along?

Mina can you please e-mail to me this example it will be very helpful I will gladly appreciated thank you.... this is my e-mail wpacheco78@msn.com

My Dr. said that mashed potatoes were allowed in the beginning because of the fact that we could eat a lot. Later on, we should cut those out because of carb content.
