I just had this for dinner today, made by Cornell University Dining. It was soo good, that I had to ask for the recipe. It turns out to be the same as this one. The only difference is that there is only 1 tbsp of butter and 1/3 cup of chives and the servings is listed as 8. It was so refreshing and a wonderful break to writing an essay on global food security. -
I love rutabagas and this recipe is very easy to do. There was too much honey for my taste. Next time I'll reduce it by half. I used the zest of one lemon. I reduced the butter a little bit. And now I saw that I forgot to add the fresh chives and I bought it today specially for this recipe :( I have leftovers, and I'll try to add chives to it. Thanks Wi Cheesehead :) Made for Newest Zaar tag.

I am a Christian wife and mother of 3 kids. Since my DH's high cholesterol, we've been eating better. I never used to like cooking. Since eating better, I've liked learning and preparing new recipes. My kids haven't reconciled themselves to the new eating yet. I grind my own grain and make all my own breads.?Working 2 hours a day in the local high school lunch room.??I am homeschooling my high schooler.? ?Also found out 1 child has multiple food allergies (wheat, dairy, tomato, chocolate, etc) and another is gluten sensitive. So, we just started (July 09) eating gluten and dairy free. I've been busy with getting our house market ready, even though it's not the best time for that.?
