This was a delicious treat! When Christy shared this recipe I was very excited because I just so happened to have everything on hand! I followed the recipe as closely as I could, but couldn't help but make my own substitutions. (I am incapable of following a recipe to a T. It's in my blood to use this instead of that, or do this instead of that.)
However, following the basic spirit of the recipe, I was infact pleased as punch with the results.
I am so glad you liked it, Anon :).
But now you piqued my curiosity (see that, I had to throw in another p word)... what did you put in for your own substitutions?
what else to do with parsnips......or veggies disguised at french fries for my no veggie kid....I cut them into somewhat thin sticks, microwave for 5 minutes between paper towels to cook some and remove some moisture then toss with olive oil and salt and bake at 400ish till then brown slighly and french fryish
C-note
parsnips kinda scare me..they are carrot with color and the same flavor. One of the few few veggies I don't like..but will eat them 100x's over asparagus!
