I was feeling overwhelmed yesterday with trying to write up a post and still have time to enjoy a sunny summer evening. So after being inspired by Colleen’s post on a digital diet I decided not to write a Thursday post. A little break combined with one of my favorite veggies has rejuvenated me.
That would be turnip! I love all the different ways you can eat turnip: boiled, mashed, and even baked.
Although turnip isn’t the most nutrient dense vegetable (compared to say kale) it does have lots of vitamin C and apparently even helps absorb iron (source). 
Turnip is the vegetable that will always turn my frown upside down. I know not everyone is a fan (most of my family are haters), but I have always been partial to it’s unique taste. Of course, I paired them with some sweet potatoes!
How could I not feel relaxed after a yummy plate looking like this
Dipped in greek yogurt and salsa. Now my frown has been turned upside down and I’m ready for a brand new day. On the plus side it’s Friday!

Are you a turnip fan? What is your favorite way to eat them? What is your favorite veggie?

I’ve never tried a turnip like that, unless turnip greens count heehee Boy, it sure looks tasty with that sweet tater, though! I definitely want to try it!
I looooove turnips! I always roast them, I’ve never even thought it was possible to boil them ahhaha I’ll have to try that!
Lol I remember the first time I saw my mom cooking with turnips, I thought they were sick carrots. But they’re one of those veggies that are neither here nor there for me. I don’t hate them, but I don’t eat them on their own either. Fave veggie is sweet potatoes for sure
yeah I actually like turnips. They do have a unique flavor that tantalizes my tastebuds as well. Sweet potato is always a winner.
nom.
MMm that looks delicious! Roasting veggies in the oven always makes them taste better
I love mashed turnips. My grandpa introduced me to them because he has to eat a pretty strict diet, and turnips are pretty much at every meal of his. The best part about that is that I get to have it at every holiday celebration! I never make it on my own because it just ruins the “specialness” of it.
oh i’ve actually never tried a turnip!what is your fave way to cook them?
My favorite way is tied between:
1)boiling them in chunks and adding them to stirfry or chili
2)baking turnip slices in the oven just like sweet potato (I would say that the turnip flavor is really strong this way and some people may call it bitter)
Hope you try them
