Get Those Hands Dirty

Turnips
Who doesn't just love them?!

This weekend we harvested at least 100 lbs of turnips. It is one of the easiest vegetables on earth I think there is to grow. And pulling those little jewels up from the earth is just too much fun.
I'm not one to like turnips greens, which is a shame, as I threw all of them into the compost pile but the turnips themselves have such a great flavor to them. A little bitterness and a little sweetness at the same time. They just melt in your mouth. There are so many ways to prepare them--Turnip fries, cubes with butter salt & pepper, or boiled and mashed like mashed potatoes. They are all yummy! My kids love to just grab the turnip, put a little salt on that baby and eat it as is.
If you've never ate a turnip, you should...you might be pleasantly surprised. :0)

Time Passes

Well, so much time has passed since I last updated anything into this blog. It doesn't mean that there has been nothing going on, on the contrary--Life has been very busy. With 5 kids how could it not be. The holiday season has passed and life goes on. I will be updating more of what is going on with us soon.
Take care all!
