R–Yeah I steamed them and then (since I didn’t have a food processor at the time) I just mashed the heck out of them. I think if you put them in a food processor that it would make them creamier. My husband couldn’t tell the difference and he generally hates anything that is healthy. We also tried your taco’s in lettuce shells the other day and my husband LOVED them. Actually tweeted about how much he liked them. Thanks for the great ideas. This blog has really inspired me to cook a lot more.

I HAVE! But I have never been able to get the consistency right. Did you just steam them first?

Have you thought of mixing some mashed cauliflower in? It is a bit of a healthy twist that I read of in a book. I did it, and seriously couldn’t tell the difference.

Sandra… that sounds pretty cool to me. A bit high on the sodium but that’s to be expected. I always make my own with broth and drippings. See comment by me above. But for a quick gravy that sounds great!

Hi Roni,I had a question for you “what do you think about Heinz fat free gravy? 1/4 cup is 20 calories 0 fat 0 saturated fat, trans fat 0 cholesterol 0, carbs. 3g fiber 0 sugars 0 protien 1g. The only thing is the sodium is 250mg. Thank you so much.

I boil my potatoes in half chicken broth and half water, they come out so creamy and flavorful you don’t really need to add anything.

Another plus to using the cream cheese, is that you can make them ahead of time and reheat them in the oven or microwave. The cream cheese keeps them from getting ‘gluey’
