Grilled Chicken, Mashed Red Potatoes with Mushroom Gravy, Seasoned Veggies

This was delicious.  I didn't really measure anything. . .

Mashed Red Potatoes
8 medium red potatoes, cut into thirds
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup half n half
1/4 cup butter, melted
salt and pepper
garlic powder

Cover potatoes with water and add garlic.  Bring to a boil, and boil until tender when pierced with a fork (not too soft, but tender.)  Drain.  Add butter, half n half, salt and pepper, and garlic powder.  Mix with electric mixer or mash, adding seasoning and extra milk to desired taste and consistency. 


Mushroom Gravy
Sautee 8 oz sliced mushrooms in 1 TBSP butter, until softened and browned.  Add 1/2 cup chicken broth and simmer.  Thicken with a little cornstarch mixed with water.  Salt and pepper to taste.  Delicious!


Seasoned Veggies
Steam sliced carrots, cauliflower and broccoli florets until desired tenderness.  Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper and garlic powder.  Toss to coat.

Served with Grilled Chicken (we just seasoned it generously with salt and pepper--our kids love it 'plain' like this) and Oat Dinner Rolls.
