I've gone a different direction this weekend. My husband has been home and the granddaughters spent the night last night, so I fixed a hearty meal last night of rump roast, potatoes, and carrots. Then, tonight I made a stew out of what was left of that plus adding vegetables of yellow corn, white corn, lima beans (I know some of you won't like that) and mushrooms. About a half of can of the corn and limas and a small jar of the mushrooms. I don't fix beef much these days, but it, especially the stew tonight, was a real comfort meal.Kathy Reelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004247271452356577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-58166139265279269942015-11-08T17:30:48.091-05:002015-11-08T17:30:48.091-05:00So.. you peel the peel?So.. you peel the peel?Hank Phillippi Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420701704169428286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-70589306262409851532015-11-08T16:46:19.059-05:002015-11-08T16:46:19.059-05:00Hank, if you peel carrots, then peel parsnips.

They're essentially the same kind of root vegetable. <br /><br />I personally do not peel them, because of the nutrients in the outer part of the plant, but to each her own.

I'm always looking for new soups to add to my winter repertoire.<br /><br />Parsnips are delicious cut into sticks and roasted with a drizzle of olive oil, and they're less starchy than french fries.

There's nothing quite like a good bowl of soup and some warm bread, especially on a rainy or cold day. One of our favorite soup recipes is a corn chowder recipe that Julia shared a while back. <br /><br />Split pea soup is another easy family favorite: one package of split peas, a meaty ham bone, two chopped carrots, two diced onions, four diced potatoes, garlic, pepper . . . add enough water to cover. Cook over low heat until the peas are soft. Put the soup through a food mill; return to the pot. Correct the seasoning, if needed, and continue cooking until soup is thickened.
