Chicken salad...now I wish I'd put it on a sandwich . Hankering bread.

I have a hankering for some more collards. It's rainy today so not sure I'll get out there and pick any. Maybe...

Got in the garden but didn't pick collards. Grabbed a turnip and a few carrots and a bunch of chickweed that I split between the pigs, chickens and goats. Best chickweed "crop" we've had in several years. Hmmm, wonder if I should mix some in with a salad like I've done previously. Depends on how hungry we are as it gets closer to dinner time I guess.

Anybody ever had mashed turnips and carrots? Just wondering...

I'm thinking a chicken, broccoli, rice & cheese casserole. Need to use up some cooked chicken & "over" chix salad. Have everything here to do

Thinking on it over a second cuppa

we normally don't grow carrots here (too much clay in most gardens and too many critters that will eat them), but also i like turnips fried enough to get a little brown on the edges.

i'm sure i'd like them though as i do like either of them alone enough and a combination would be fine.

My turnips go to chickens & goats...maybe I should try some myself. What's best cooking hints?

That's what I ended up doing with 'em. They were good, but next time I'm going to have a couple pieces of bacon fried and crumbled with 'em. And, of course fry them in the bacon grease.

See above, lol. I've done that several times and we really like 'em that way. I was trying to go low cal last night (and didn't have any bacon thawed) so I just used a spray of Pam.

I've seen recipes for mashed turnips, but I haven't tried it yet. I think sometimes they're mixed with potatoes? Maybe...
