Everyone knows the holidays can be stressful. The cooking, the cleaning, the decorating can all feel a bit overwhelming. I will be honest, I am not a gourmet chef. As a mom of two little ones the fact that I can get a holiday meal on the table at all feels like a small miracle most years. We aren’t having a big crowd this year and even though it will just be my parents coming I still want our Thanksgiving meal to feel special and taste delicious. With being stretched thin on time I have learned a few cooking hacks that have made all the difference.
My best friend (who happens to be a nutritionist) introduced me to Better Than Bouillon about 5 years ago. It’s become one of my best little secrets for giving dishes a “cooked all day” flavor in just minutes. It’s become an absolute staple in our home. Better Than Bouillon have a wide variety of bases that add so much flavor and make all the difference in your favorite holiday classics. I wanted to share with you my super simple recipe for delicious garlic and chive mashed potatoes along with a recipe for easy gravy. This little trick will elevate your traditional mashed potato recipe in just seconds!
It really only takes seconds to add the garlic base to a traditional mashed potato recipe but you wont believe the difference in the depth of flavor when you throw a little Better Than Bouillon in the mix. Everyone is always asking what I put in my mashed potato’s to give them the amazing flavor and they never believe how easy my trick is when I tell them!
I also can’t tell you how often I find myself needing gravy in a pinch and feel so thankful I have Better Than Bouillon Turkey base in the fridge. You can also use any of their vegetarian bases or their chicken base if you prefer for your gravy. It only takes a few minutes to make and it always turns out fantastic.
You can find other holiday classics that are full of flavor thanks to Better Than Bouillon on their website HERE. Check them out for everything from soups to green bean casseroles and more! Happy holiday cooking!
