New Favorite Vegetable

My grocery shopping list usually includes tons of fruits and vegetables. I've been trying to eat a salad everyday for lunch with a bit of protein. It's hard not to get bored. I'm not a vegetable fan, but I'm learning to love them. Here's a new found favorite: Rutabaga. Have you tried this lovely? If you haven't, just chop off the ends, peel it like a potato, and saute until tender. Tastes a bit like a potato. What ways have you cooked this vegetable? Looking for new ideas to add a bit of flavor.

  1. Never cooked one or eaten one that I'm aware of. I do have a goal to prepare and eat every single vegetable at my grocery store within the year. How fun will that be!?

  2. I've never tried one - but have always loved the funny name!

  3. Melissa, that is a great goal. I think I might just join you on that one. There are so many fun ones out there.

  4. I will forever associate rutabaga's with the "RRRRRRuffles have RRRRRRidges" campaign. I wonder if my grocery store even carries them.

    Melissa- LOVE that idea. We eat a lot of veggies in this house, but I know there are some I've never used. I'm going to investigate next time I'm at the store.
