“I love turnip...”

I like Turnips and Beets. The only thing I didn’t like as a child/teen was Rudebaker & Eggplant & Brussels sprouts . Since I NEVER tried Rudebaker & Eggplant again I don’t know if I would like them now or not. My youngest daughter convinced me to try the Brussel sprouts the way she fixes them and I must say they weren’t bad.

Hi Spunky....

I thought turnip and rutabaga were the same thing lol. I LOVE LOVE LOVE beets. They are delicious!

We make our Brussel Sprouts by first frying up bacon cut into about 1” squares.

Take the bacon out of the pan and the put in halved Brussel sprouts and stir fry them for 10 minutes. I add some olive oil if I need more oil.

Then add some sliced or diced onions and stir fry until just soft.

Add the bacon back in, mix, and serve.

I never liked brussel sprouts up until a couple years ago. My DIL made some and they were good. She took a few of the outer leaves off before cooking. Then I found a recipe that has you blanch them for 10 min in boiling water. Next you cut and put in greased casserole dish. Add some bacon bits, shredded swiss cheese, and top with a bit of heavy cream. Put in oven for about 25 min. They are one of my favorites now. I’ll even eat them cold the next day.

I tried growing them in my garden this year. That didn’t go very well. I might try again next year.
