Roasted Turnip “Fries”

Here’s a tip:  Pretty much all vegetables taste better when roasted.  Especially turnips.  Generally speaking, I’m not a big fan of turnips.  But cut them into sticks (fries) and roast those babies and I am all over it.

And roasting turnips (or any other vegetable) is ridiculously easy.

Preheat oven to 420. [...]

Ingredients:

3 Tbsp organic butter or ghee 2 onions, chopped 2 lbs carrots, peeled [...]

Crazy Good Coffee Pot Roast

Pin It I know I just posted a pot roast recipe last week… and your point?  When you purchase your beef a half cow at a time (yup… that’s how we do it), you end up with a freezer full of roasts.  And, honestly, I love roasts.

And even though I love the tomato-balsamic mixture [...]
