Garlic, Sour Cream, & Chive Mashed Potatoes

I love mashed potatoes and was trying to come up with a light alternative and this is what happened:

Ingredients:

4 medium potatoes
3 cloves garlic
1 tsp salt (I use sea salt)
1 T butter (I use regular butter with salt)
1/4 C sour cream (I use regular)
1 T freeze-dried chives
1/2 tsp white pepper
2 tsp olive oil

Directions:

Clean and peel potatoes and cut into quarters. Peel garlic cloves and cut off stumpy end. Boil potatoes and cloves in water (enough to cover them) with olive oil until a fork easily pierces potatoes. Drain but reserve 1 C of the liquid.

Mash potatoes and garlic together (by hand works best). Continue mashing while adding sour cream, butter, and reserved liquid until at desired consistency. Add salt, pepper, and chives.

Whole Wheat Pizza Crust

I didn't make up this recipe but it makes an easy and delicious whole wheat pizza crust!

Ingredients:

1 or 2 c. white flour (enough to make a stiff dough)
2 c. whole wheat flour
1 pkg. or 1 tbsp. active dry yeast
3/4 tsp. salt
1 c. warm water
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. honey

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425°F before baking. Pour flour into a large mixing bowl. Add yeast and salt. Mix well. Add water, oil and honey; mix well.

Knead dough for 6 minutes on a lightly floured surface, adding sufficient flour to make a stiff dough. Dough may be slightly sticky. Oil your hands with olive oil to keep from sticking while kneading.

Cover with a moist cloth and place in a warm spot for 30 minutes to rise. Punch down and press into a greased 14 inch pizza pan or a 10 inch pan for a thicker crust.

Spread sauce and other ingredients on pizza crust. Bake in a preheated 425°F for 15 to 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted.
