I love parsnips and this is a great new way to prepare them.Thr nutmeg is just the right added flavor to the combiation of the sweet carrots and parsnip.Because I try to cut back on butter I used Chicken Broth and no butter. Delicious. I used apprx 1/4 cup or a bit less broth - just enough to make them fluffy when I whipped them. Thanks HeatherFeather another winner
