Simply Sides - Horseradish-Garlic Sauteed Parsnips

I love vegetables and like preparing them in different ways. I recently had some parsnips in my refrigerator, and went on a search for a new recipe. I ended up taking a few things from one or two recipes and came up with my own variation. They turned out great! Full of flavor they would be a nice addition to your Easter dinner.

Horseradish-Garlic Sauteed Parsnips

1-1/2 pounds of parsnips, peeled and cut into 3-4 inch sticks
4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
3 Tablespoons butter
4 teaspoons bottled horseradish
1/2 Tablespoon finely chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

1. Melt butter in frying pan on medium low heat and add the extra virgin olive oil. Stir in horseradish and garlic.

2. Add the peeled and cut parsnips and stir to coat with horseradish-garlic mixture. Cover and sauté on low until parsnips are tender.

3. Remove from heat. Stir in parsley, and salt & pepper to taste.

The Most Disappointing Halloween Ever

Image
We just experienced our most disappointing Halloween in the 15 years we have been in our home. We received zero trick-or-treaters. Not one moment of joy opening the door to see little ones in costumes as their cute little voices called out "trick-or-treat"! As far back as I can remember Halloween has been a holiday that was fun for children. How could they not enjoy dreaming up a costume and going out to trick or treat for candy. Growing up there were six of us and we spent weeks deciding what we wanted to be and how to come up with the costume. Of course, back then we used what was available in the house to create our vision, and maybe we would get a purchased plastic mask. Then on Halloween night our parents took us out to go from house to house. We would run up to the door, knock, and when it was opened, we would all yell out, "trick or treat!", then watch as the treat was deposited into our bag or bucket. After saying thank you we moved on to the next house and

We Do Have Some Control

Image
We have all watched the news media sensationalizing the cost of living today. It seems as if they are trying to create havoc and fear. Although the price of the things we purchase have risen, the truth is we do have some control over how it effects our budget. We need to remember that the pandemic played a large role in the exorbitant increases we have seen on everyday items. The shortages that were created during this time allowed companies to charge much higher prices for what little was produced compared to normal manufacturing quantities. Plus, those who were out purchasing more than they needed and hoarding it also contributed to higher prices. If we listen to all the gloom and doom on our evening news, we will believe there is nothing we can do to ease the strain on our daily cost of living. The truth is, we do have some control on how we spend our money and how to save on everyday items. First of all, I am no different than millions of other people. There have been many times in

These Hands

Image
These hands once young and smooth, now carry the scars of time. Some days I gaze upon them, and wonder whose they are. Once the hands of a child, that loved to play in the mud. Never a thought or worry, as to how these hands looked. As years passed priorities changed, and these hands became important. Lotions, potions and painted nails to show off their natural beauty. Then arrived the child raising years, keeping these hands so busy. Carrying babies, then chasing toddlers, playing and enjoying precious moments. Laundry and cleaning, meals to cook, making a house a home. Ensuring that all within the walls, feel safe, secure and loved. Years of working took their toll, slowly these hands transformed. Once smooth and blemish free, small changes began to appear. Now the senior years have arrived, and time has left a trail. As I think of all these hands have done, I welcome every scar, wrinkle and flaw.
