The key to good mashed taters is to use russet or yukon gold and don't cut them. Put them into a pot of cold water and bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer until cooked.. drain and then back in the pot to steam off any excess water, then mash. The water is what makes them a bit sticky and gooey.

I am also a big fan of salad kits as everything you need for the salad is in the bag and you don’t have to hunt around the store for different ingredients or buy an ingredient that you might only use once!!! Also you can get a rotisserie chicken to go with a salad kit and dinner is served without much effort on your part!!!

Hi Amy! I think you mentioned frying chicken in your meal planning video. I just wanted to recommend the Louisiana crispy chicken fry mix. We get it from Walmart. I don't like the mess of frying chicken, so my husband usually does it, but just put the fry mix in a large ziplock bag, season your chicken, drop it in the bag, shake and fry. Its delicious!

Good morning Amy. I don't know if you've tried it or not, but whenever I make mashed potatoes in the water that I boil the potatoes in, I always put a little bit of chicken bouillon in it. It just gives it a little more flavor. You could try that sometime
