Mashed Parsnips

My friend, Liz, is always giving me stuff from her garden.  She and her father grow an incredibly large garden all year long! Along with their sheep farm I also get plenty of lamb too!  I'm blessed to have such a wonderful friend who I truly appreciate. She is an angel!  Anyway, parsnips got dug up yesterday and I came up with an idea to use them like potatoes. Liz told me that they were delicious mashed up!

Here's me and Bud, Liz's dad, processing some lamb!

 And here is my wonderful friend, Liz. We made Apple Dumplings that were to die for!!  (I see her mama, Joann, in the background.  "Hi mom!")

OK back to the recipe for parsnips...by the way, these came out so tasty.  I love parsnips!
