Notes
This was such a satisfying and comforting dinner, not to mention it's vegetarian and not too bad for you. Everyone loves mashed potatoes, and most people will tolerate broccoli when covered in cheese, so why not combine the two classics? This recipe could easily be adapted to whatever you or your family likes. I considered adding chicken or mushrooms, but I think it was perfect just the way I made it. And apparently Kyle thought so too, because this is what he requested for dinner tonight.
