Root N Toot N

"After a hectic few weeks of sandwiches and energy bars, I was longing for some "real food." So I started chopping and this is the result. My toughest critic, aka Mr. Wonderful, fell in love all over again. (We'll have to do this more often!)"

directions

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, combine prepared parsnips, turnips, carrots as well as olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix well to thoroughly coat the veggies with oil, salt & pepper.
  • Put in heated oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until fork tender, turning about every 15 minutes.
  • Combine vinegar and syrup together, set aside.
  • When veggies are fork tender, drizzle the vinegar - maple over all and turn to coat veggies. Alternatively, you could remove the veggies from the oven, dump in a large bowl or pot, add the maple - vinegar and toss well to coat; then replace in the oven for an additional 7 minutes for the glaze to develop and the veggies to brown. Whichever is easier -- I'm all about easy ;).
  • When done, serve and enjoy! Goes well with beef, chicken or lamb. Also makes a great vegetarian meal when served with a pasta or grain.

I'm happy when I don't rub people the wrong way -- I'm a licensed massage therapist! Twenty years ago, at a cross-road in my life, I had a good sit-down talk with me and decided that my two passions in life were people, and helping them feel better ... and cooking. Just five days after that, a tiny ad in the local paper announced that Massage School started on Monday; so on that Monday in Sept. 1990 a new chapter started in my life. It was like learning a foreign language. Do you know where your olecranon process is? I met Mr. Wonderful in February of 1992 and we married 82 days later. (Who? Me impulsive??) He's still my Mr. Wonderful. In regards to cooking, he's my strongest supporter ... and toughest critic. When we first met, it was Mr. Meat and Potatoes meets Little Miss Vegetarian. In an effort to learn how to live together, we developed this plan: Thursdays became experimental food day. I would cook something that neither one of us had ever had before (so there would be no emotional attachment for either of us) and we would critique it. The deal was that if either of us found that meal gag-worthy, we would eat at McDonald's. I am happy to report, we have not darkened their door yet! Out of those experiments came our most favorite recipes. Ours is a blended family and between us we have three sons: an architect in CA, a computer programmer in FL and an Emergency Room MD in TX. We are blessed with three lovely daughters-in-law [the architect just married an interior decorator! A blessing on their heads, Mazel Tov, Mazel Tov!!] and three very hug-able grandchildren (18 y/o boy, 13 y/o girl and 11 y/o girl.) We are both very active in our congregation. If you like, check us out at http://www.kolhamashiach.org. We teach as well as other avenues of ministry (think: sanitation and maintenance!) ... Fun around here includes ministering ;) at the local department stores; cooking; and discussing Torah. It's not unusual to find half a dozen people around our dining room table in a good natured but animated discussion! Of course there's food ... for body and soul! 8726471"
