What does it mean when someone says potato- free mashed potatoes? It simply means you create a dish that resembles mashed potatoes but that is made with other vegetables. In this particular instance I am talking about parsnips. They have a nutty, complex flavor which can be enhanced with the addition of roasted garlic. I have also used turnips in the same manner, and they too make an excellent substitute for potatoes.

Ingredients: 5 medium parsnips, chopped into 1-inch pieces 1 medium cauliflower broken into pieces, including core 5 cloves of roasted garlic 2 tablespoons of olive oil ½ tablespoon fresh lemon juice ½ to 1 teaspoon sea salt 1 heaping teaspoon fresh rosemary Freshly ground black pepper to taste *Add more olive oil for roasting vegetables if you choose Directions: Roast garlic and vegetables (if you choose) at 425 degrees for about 40 minutes or until fork tender. Garlic may require more time and is ready when it easily squeezes out of the skin into a paste-like texture.

I eat pretty much the same thing for breakfast every day—A sausage patty or fried egg on toast with a slice of cheese. I don’t have to give it much thought. I put the pan on the stove and turn it on. While I’m waiting for it to be hot enough, I get the ingredients out and maybe pour my coffee. Then the meat goes in the pan, letting it sizzle for a couple of minutes, and then the toast goes in so it will still be warm when everything is assembled, and the coffee gets poured if I haven’t done that yet. The last step is to stack everything up and eat it. I could have the same from McDonald’s if I wanted to spend the money.
