Christmas Thanksgiving. Memorial Day. 4th of July. These days (and more) are all known of one thing. No, i'm not talking about how they bring family together or how we all unite as a human race to celebrate freedom or something like that. There is one thing they universally do to us: They kill our diets.

Yep. These days are known as diet killers.

I got sick of letting myself go at family gatherings so I started to offer to cook to help the problem. If I cook good healthy and delicious food, I can eat well and have a good time.

My smashed sweet potatoes are a game changer. While they are bulletproof and are packed with good saturated fats, they are incredibly delicious. For holidays, some of my family always make the same gross, recession minded mashed potatoes with low fat milk and industrial animal butter. They mix those with giant hormone pumped russet potatoes and exactly ZERO seasonings. Then they mix powdered gravy with water pour it on the potatoes. Talk about prison food. Yuck.

So naturally, when I brought my smashed sweet potatoes over they were a massive hit.
