Dinner

I had the kids last night and tonight, and I knew we were going to be having pizza. The pizza we got from Papa Murphy's was sooo good! I think it's my favorite (it was also low-fat) :-) So I wanted to have some sort of veggie to go with it and knew I had cauliflower and 1 parsnip left. I got creative and told the kids we were having something like mashed potatoes. So here is another great recipe that the kids loved and they had no idea it was veggies! I added ground flax seed to mine and it was good. It adds a nutty flavor, but isn't overpowering.

1 parsnip
1 1/2 cups of cauliflower
1/2 cup of onion and celery
salt
pepper
garlic powder

* Chop everything up and bring to a boil. Let it simmer until everything is tender and easy to mash. Drain all the water but a little, and mash well. Then add your salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add however much you like. Once you have it plated top it with a little bit of cheese. I used Havarti and it was very tasty. Havarti is a smooth cheese that has a distinct flavor, but it's not too strong.
