INGREDIENTS

2	lb	All-purpose or waxy potatoes; peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
1/2	ts	Salt
1/3	c	Milk
3	tb	Butter

INSTRUCTIONS

Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover them;
add the salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low,
cover and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until very tender; drain well.
Return the potatoes to the saucepan over low heat. Mash with a potato
masher or fork. Add the milk and butter and continue mashing until smooth
and well-blended.
Note: Here's how we get our rainbow-colored potatoes:
For Hot Pink Potatoes: Add 1 can (8 1/4 ounces) beets, drained, to the
cooked potatoes and mash. For a smoother texture, puree the beets in a food
processor before adding. For Green Potatoes: Add 2 whole, peeled garlic
cloves to the potatoes before cooking. Thaw a 10-ounce package of frozen
chopped spinach and squeeze dry. Add to the cooked potatoes and mash.
Season with nutmeg. For Carrot or Parsnip Mashed Potatoes: Substitute 1
pound peeled carrots or parsnips, cut into 1/2-inch slices, for 1 pound of
the potatoes. Cook parsnips along with the potatoes and mash as above until
well combined.

A Message from our Provider:

“Only with Jesus can you reach your full potential”

So deeply planted are the roots of human corruption, that even after we are born again, renewed, “washed, sanctified, justified,” and made living members of Christ, these roots remain alive in the bottom of our hearts, and, like the leprosy in the walls of the house, we never get rid of them until the earthly house of this tabernacle is dissolved. Sin, no doubt, in the believer’s heart, has no longer dominion. It is checked, controlled, mortified, and crucified by the expulsive power of the new principle of grace. The life of a believer is a life of victory, and not of failure. But the very struggles which go on within his bosom, the fight that he finds it needful to fight daily, the watchful jealousy which he is obliged to exercise over his inner man, the contest between the flesh and the spirit, the inward “groanings” which no one knows but he who has experienced them - all, all testify to the same great truth, all show the enormous power and vitality of sin. Mighty indeed must that foe be who even when crucified is still alive!
