    Good
    I made this for dinner tonight. It wasn't too bad, but reminded me a lot of what I baby food would taste like. Doubt I will make again, unless it's for a baby I have in the future. - 3/29/12

    Incredible!
    WOW! I made this for lunch because I had a variety of root veg in the fridge. Instead of sour cream - which I didn't have - I subtracted the cream calories from calories for 30g of soft goats cheese and grilled it on top of the mashed vegetables - delicious! Will try the sour cream next time. - 12/1/09

    I just love the use of all the healthy root veggies that get so boring to eat by themselves. Thanks! - 1/3/09

    I LOVE root veggies...thanks for this recipe! Can't wait to try it. I think I might even add some rootibeggas (yes I know it's misspelled, but I don't know how to spell it and it too is a root veggie, hence the rooti part) :). - 1/3/09

    As a child, the only mashed root veg waas the potato. Then I went to Europe and had mashed turnips and squash. Mashed carrots and parsnips are also good as a change. - 1/3/09

    I want to suggest having roasted garlic around for this type of recipe.Take 4/5 heads garlic,I make 20,and cut off the tops,exposing the cloves.Place on foil and drizzle with good olive oil.Bake at 350* for 45/55 min.till tender.Use like butter,squeese into mashed or whole in dishes.Keeps at rm.tmp. - 1/3/09
