I figured out that there are
726 calories per serving, if 4 servings or 484 calories for 6 servings, or 363
calories for 8 servings are made. (Please note that the calorie counts vary
depending on the specific brands of ingredients that you choose to use.)
My entire house was filled with the smell of roasted garlic after
cooking these wonderful potatoes.
They were so amazing that I enjoyed every little bite. The garlic was
partially crunchy and brought so much flavor to these potatoes. Of course, the whole milk and cream
cheese didn’t hurt. I don’t ever
want to eat mashed potatoes again that do not include cream cheese! These are a definite keeper.
 |
| The first step is to roast the garlic in the oven |
 |
| Just quickly peel the potatoes I love my new peeler! |
 |
| Boil up the taters! Wow! Look at all of that starch |
 |
| Pour them into a large bowl |
 |
| Add the butter and salt and pepper |
 |
 |
| Just put dabs of cream cheese all over the potatoes |
 |
| Now mix well and add in the amazing roasted garlic. |
 |
| There is nothing better than yummy potatoes in the freezer ready to eat |

Wants and Wishes
What
I really want right now is a week off for Spring Break. There is nothing better
when the weather starts to change than a week of vacation. It is amazing to me
how quickly the year is going right now. I have less than 60 days left of
school forever. That is such a
foreign concept to me, but one I welcome. Spring Break is a time to rejuvenate before the final push. It just
can’t come quickly enough for this girl.
