Roasted parsnips. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Just sayin'.

[snapdragen]

Roasted anything! I recently did roasted baby bok choy -- yum!

Gosh, Owlie
your parents are pretty old school. most of us figured out how to cook veggies in the 1970's!!!

I'm pretty sure most of my veggies growing up came out of a can.

Then again, most of the food I remember from my childhood is "camping" food, and Mom didn't make anything too complex in the motor home.

We roasted some cabbage wedges last night- fabulous! In fact, I think I liked them more than the roasted brussel sprouts that accompanied the cabbage...

Red or green cabbage?

Red or green cabbage?

Green, but I think it would work just as well with red. It was just cabbage, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

In our house, red cabbage usually gets made into "Grandma cabbage", a dish that DH's grandmother taught him (hence the name ). It's this recipe, more or less, with tweaks to suit the ingredients we have on hand.

Grrrr, I knew I should have bought the airline tickets on Friday, As a so called "preferred customer" it sure would be nice to get an email saying heads up, we're increasing our price, but I know I am in dreamland.

Seems I remember the best days to buy tickets are tuesday and wednesday. Prices seem to change around the weekend. That said, I was buying my plane tickets yesterday too. But at least the price hadn't changed from my first glance at prices a month ago.

That looks good, Becky. I'll have to try that some time. But I'm also going to take your recommendation for the roasted cabbage. I buy cabbage generally just to make either slaw or my vegetable soup. For the soup, I only end up using a small part of the head, so it'll be nice to try something new with the rest of it.

I'm so excited. We bought a small freezer for our basement. DH still has some work to do on our electrical to accommodate it, but now I have some space to store leftovers, to make my own stock and to keep a lot more stuff on hand.

+1. I like to roast a mixture of carrots, parsnips, new potatoes and red onions together with just a bit of olive oil, kosher salt and pepper.
