Vegan Mofo Day #3: Mashed Potatoes & Green Peas

Nothing like a comforting bowl of mashed potatoes and peas.

It is Day 3 of Vegan Mofo. Today's prompt asks-- what's an easy go to meal?
Well, mashed potatoes and green peas of course! Perfect, unexpected yum.
I can remember old fond days of separating these two, terrified of having the two meetup on the plate. Nowadays mixing things together seems like a natural course of fate. Since this comforting dish (always best in the warm environments such as a roaring fireplace or under a soft, flannel blanket), lacks vegan butter or olive oil, most wouldn't consider oil free a guilty pleasure. Yet thanks to almond milk giving creamier almost purely whipped appeal. Green peas offer a firm, pliant escape from thick, luscious potatoes.
All in all, it's far too easy to fall prey to a huge bowl of mashed potatoes and green peas.
