I don't do cheese of any kind nana, none and I would never put carrots in mine. Isn't it funny how different people make the same thing different. Love it.I use butter in mine too. I thicken it the same too. Maybe thats for lunch today. <br />Oh and I do wear high heels, higher the better any chance I get. I know there will come a day when I won't be able to to but love my high heeled shoes and boots.Lea and her Mustangshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10081978031741002235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-67288143342239747182011-12-19T12:03:55.731-06:002011-12-19T12:03:55.731-06:00Sounds a lot like mine!

Anyway, mash the baked potatoes in and add chicken broth and heavy cream, salt and pepper to taste. I do add some chives for a little extra flavor and color. We add the cheese and bacon individually because not all of us like cheese at my house. I am from the south, and I use butter and bacon grease also. I have one of those little tin grease catchers sitting on my counter by the stove and I quit apologizing for it a long time ago. You will not find that nasty old margarine in my house.
