Twas’ the week before Christmas! Annnnnd I have no idea what to eat for weeknight dinners. Anyone else? This week seems all about holiday parties, getting ready to leave town, and attempting to eat the leftovers in the fridge so that I don’t have to throw them out. I’ve been making these Creamy Garlic Mashed Red Potatoes for parties a lot lately, so I thought I’d put them to good use in this Vegan Loaded Mashed Potato Bowls recipe!
The great thing about these Vegan Loaded Mashed Potato Bowls is that you can pretty much throw anything into them! Here, I’ve added sautéed mushrooms, carrots, and spinach. But you can add any veggies that your heart desires (or…ahem…that are going bad in the fridge….)!
These Vegan Loaded Mashed Potato Bowls are a great way to use up your holiday leftovers!
Creamy, savory, wholesome and delicious. I absolutely love this recipe for an easy weeknight dinner or lunch on-the-go!
