On the Table: Ranch Mashed Potatoes and Peas

Hooray for comfort food!  Yesterday was a pretty dreary day, so I decided to make something thick and pretty unhealthy (although I tried to justify that it was nutritious based on the fact that there were vegetables in it!).  It was ranch mashed potatoes with peas - yum, yum, yum!  It was also a fantastic clean-out-the-fridge/pantry dish.  I used about 4 cups of mashed potates, half a pound of peas, half a packet of ranch dressing mix, and a little bit of milk to thin out the mixture. 

Admittedly, this dish is not a culinary masterpiece.  Sometimes, though, it's the simple things that really hit the spot!

Enjoy!
