So I buy the freshest ones I can find (depending on season) and put them through my Breville Juicer. Then I add the nutritious nectar to everything they will eat.

One that Maisie really likes is roasted parsnip "fries." Peel & cut the parsnips into pointer finger sized "fries" then toss in a little bit of olive oil, salt, pepper & garlic powder. Roast at 450, checking and turning as the different sides get crispy & browned. Cook until the fries are tender on the inside and crispy outside. I tell Maisie that they're fries and I serve it with ketchup or ranch dip and she devours them.<br /><br />Another of Maisie's favorites is cauli-rice. Take a full head of washed and fully dried cauliflower and grate it either on a box grater or using a grater blade on your food processor. Place the grated cauliflower in a dry glass Pyrex and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Nuke for about 7 minutes, remove plastic wrap and fluff the rice. Add butter, salt & pepper if desired. I often use it as I would rice under chili, curry or anything with a sauce. Maisie still doesn't know that it's not rice and Eammon didn't know for months and that wasn't until I told him!Lisa~~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02632507779742615043noreply@blogger.com
