Novel Eats

As I have previously shared, we have been doing gardening by way of containers. Each year we grow many of the same things, but we usually try something new. One of this year’s new items is turnips, and I am very surprised that they are growing exceedingly well. I have never attempted to grow turnips before, and I am amazed at how fast they grow as well as how large they are able to get in our containers.

Thanksgiving is over and the leftovers are all gone. One of the things I wish that I had made more of, or at least not eaten so quickly, is the mashed potatoes. I don’t remember when I first tried making them with turnips, but ever since I can’t imagine mashed potatoes without them. It adds a really interesting flavor that borders on spicy. I feel like there is more to describe about it, but I can’t place my finger on it. All in all, it is just really delicious and a must-have at the Thanksgiving meal.
