GFGF - Parsnips!

-


 I have to admit I have never in my life eaten a parsnip.  When Ulrike chose parsnips as our vegetable this week, I was thinking they were like carrots.  I also had no idea how to cook them so I looked on Pinterest for some ideas.  I decided just to roast them because I love roasted vegetables!  I also love carrots so I decided to mix the two together!   

My grandchildren are here with us this weekend and when they saw the roasted parsnips they got really excited because they thought they were french fries.  However one bite and they both threw them back onto their plate!  

Chandler and I actually thought they were pretty good.  They do taste more like potatoes than carrots!  They are not a low carb food either as I had hoped.  But I am really glad we tried these.

Slice carrots and parsnips into small strips.  Put on baking pan lined with parchment.  Drizzle olive oil over all.  Sprinkle 1 T Italian seasoning over.   Sprinkle 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese.  Bake at 350 for about thirty minutes or until tender.  

I think you should check these blogs for more parsnips!

Parsnips are an "old" vegetable and for a long time nearly forgotten here in Germany.
Roasting them is my favourite way.

Fortunately I can eat them, holding my weight ...

So funny about the parsnips being mistaken for French fries...and the reaction to such. Your parsnips and carrots look really good, so easy, too. This is how I usually prepare them...that and in stews or soups...we have them occasionally so it was fun to go in search of a new recipe. Nice to hear that you liked them and that you tried something new, which is what I love about cooking in groups, I've tried so many things I would never have if it hadn't been for group cooking.

Parsnip fries!!! I may have to try that. I think the majority of people roast them. A new taste for both of us.

Ina Garten's Deviled Eggs!

This is appetizers week in our Ina Garten Fridays group!!  I chose her deviled eggs because we love deviled eggs and I never deviate from my old family recipe so I thought I would branch out and try something different.  I'm so glad I did!  I love these and I am sure my DH will love them tonight for dinner also. With just these ingredients, you can impress your guests or yourself, with some delicious deviled eggs. Ina's recipe says to hardboil six eggs.  (I only did five because that was all I had and mine turned out a little fluffier than they probably should have, but delicious just the same).  If you don't know how to boil eggs, please take a minute to learn.  If your eggs turn out green, you have overcooked them.  To make perfect boiled eggs every time, I put my eggs in cold water and put them on the stove, bring to a boil.  As soon as they begin boiling, I take them off the stove and cover and let them sit for 15 minutes.  At this point, they are perfe

TWD - Steph’s Bakewell Tart

What is a Bakewell Tart, you might ask.  Apparently it all began in Derbyshire, England.  I had no idea it was popular with  The Great British Baking Show.   This classic  combines a buttery shortcrust pastry with a filling of raspberry jam, (or in my case blackberry jam), topped with an almond spongecake and almond slices. I think there are probably many different versions of the Bakewell. On my first attempt, my crust totally fell apart in the oven.  At that point, I went to plan b and made four mini tarts.  These worked perfectly for us.  I have a very thin layer of the jam and wish I had used a bit more.  We enjoyed this and it was a breeze to put together.   Check out Tuesdayswithdorie.wordpress.com for others.

TWD - Brown Sugar Bundt Cake

It is my turn to host! Almost three years ago I had no idea what a food blog was, much less that there were ladies and gentlemen all across the world baking and writing about such things, and sharing and growing with each other over recipes.  I'm not a chef or a great baker, but I do love to cook for my family so I decided to join in.  Since we are just two days past Mother's Day, I want to thank my sweet mother (who passed away three years ago) for sharing her love of cooking with me. My first Dorie recipe was a fruit galette.  I remember still how delicious it was.  I even remember the first comment I received on my blog.  It was like an award to me!  I still love reading all your comments, so thank you to those of you who regularly stop by to leave encouragement and stop for a second to say hello. Now about Dorie.  I love the way Dorie explains her recipes step by step.  While some of the recipes in her book "appear" complicated, I think any novice could fol
