I make make mashed potatoes with expeller pressed canola oil.  For extra
protein and calcium, I grind up tofu to a creamy texture and add that.  And,
to add veggies for my veggie-hating son, I add cooked cauliflower to the
creamy tofu.  I eyeball this and don't have a recipe.

>How do you make your own nut butters?

Trish I got the recipe from "The Yeast Connection Cookbook".  Get a blender
or food processor.  Take 1/2 cup of nuts and grind to a fine meal.  Add 1-2
teaspoons of oil and glend.  You may want to use more oil or hot water to
get the right consistency.
