Thanksgiving Recipe Swap Blog Hop

First, let’s establish that that picture up there? Not mine. I got it from the Food Network, where they can also give you a recipe that uses, like, real measurements and stuff.

Grammy usually makes rutabaga because it’s one of Mommy’s favorites – and since it’s totally baby friendly, I figured it would be a good dish to share. (Also, it’s vegetarian, so probably Aunt Rebecca would like it!) This year, Grammy is scaling back on her cooking, so maybe we* will make it instead.

As per Grammy Boo, you get a rutabaga and then you have to peel it and cut it into chunks. Or cut it into chunks and then peel it. Apparently rutabagas are difficult to peel, so you can choose whichever way you find easiest. Once you have hunks of rutabaga, boil them and then mash them. Then you add butter, salt, and pepper to taste (probably you stir them all around instead if just plunking them on top) – and then? You eat! Easy peasy! (In theory. Mommy and I have never actually made this. If we** try it out, we’ll get back to you next week with our results. If YOU try it out, let us know what you thought!)

*We = Daddy. Mommy doesn’t cook, remember? And I? Am too short to reach the counter.

**We = still Daddy. Seriously. I’m not allowed to work the stove.
