I really liked this and the idea! The only problem I had was that the turnips were very bitter.. I'm not sure if it was the type of turnip (I got the little purple and white ones) or if it was that maybe they weren't ripe or something. Any tips or ideas that I could use to make these taste less bitter? Maybe the different flavored cream cheese would help, I did use regular...

Hi and thank you for visiting my about me page...
I have 2 very handsome sons that are my pride and joy. My partner is the man i was to marry when i was 18 years old - unfortunately we got cold feet and i moved away - we have reunited after searching for each other for 25 years and are making our home in Calgary - we are eventually going to make it to the altar. Our rescue dog Nikki and my son's Cat Saichel are our fur babies.
I was the lucky recipient of a premium membership donated by a very generous chef here at Zaar and to show my appreciation i have tried to continue to fulfill my responsibilities to ensure premimum membership continues. However, I have run into a little snag but am working on it. I am looking forward to the day when I can reciprocate and offer someone else the joy of premium.
Pet peeves in life are inconsiderate & ignorant people & slow drivers.
