You have some great recipes here. This one is a keeper. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSounds so good but don't parsnips have a lot of carbs?
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteLooks like a tasty meal! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
The scene and photo are pretty, if the rain would stop I would go for a walk.
Happy Sunday, enjoy your day and have a great new week!

Hello Christine, many thanks for your question and comment.
Yes, parsnips are higher in carbs than say swede/rutabaga.
Parsnips have 18g per 100g whereas swede is just 9g per 100g
The total carb count in this recipe is 19g carbs per serving and Eddie and I both find this fits in well with our LCHF menu plans.
But as always any meal/recipe is a personal choice and if you or a loved one is diabetic and not sure how certain foods may affect blood sugar readings - test is best i.e. use your meter.
Hope this helps you, and other readers.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
All the best Jan
These are my favourite kind of meals, easy to prepare but very comforting and warming for the colder months.
ReplyDeletedefinitely on my "to try" list and perfect for the chilly weather that is in the near future :)
ReplyDeleteA nice hearty meal, looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great image for autumn.
ReplyDeleteSounds fantastic. We had a great walk along the Rhine today. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like quite a dish!
ReplyDeleteAren't one pot dishes wonderful. They are so often full of flavour, and the clean-up is reduced. Great leftovers too.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a place that beautiful to walk around here I might just walk more.
ReplyDeleteFirst the hurricane here, then autumn.
ReplyDeletethat recipe looks delicious - the walk looks amazing and I'm anxious for my own fall walk which hasn't quite started here yet.
ReplyDeleteI've never fixed parsnips. Had them once when I was kid at my grandma's and I thought they tasted like dirt. Perhaps I should try them again, that was YEARS ago. Way too early for me to think about hot soup, and fall type food though. I hold onto summer as long as I can because I'm not a fan of the colder weather......especially not will follow it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great autumn recipe. I'll make it for our first frost.
ReplyDeletea meal that will leave you content
ReplyDeleteThe seasonings and parsnips sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good weekend:)
Love parsnips
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
Jan, you recently left a lovely comment on my post about fall cleaning and I commented back that I imagine your home in fall smelling of something warm and delicious as you cleaned. And here I am greeted with exactly what I had envisioned. I am certain that your home is always filled with the most wonderful aromas...off to pin this hearty dish!! xo
