We got somewhere between 18-24 inches of snow at my house yesterday. INSANE right? I could barely even find my car. Oh.. there it is..
More pics..
This resulted in lots of sitting around the new fireplace and playing on the computer.
While the bf was sitting about 5 feet away, I decided to email him this:
Which lead him to respond with..
..without either of us saying anything outloud, haha! Can you tell we were going a bit stir-crazy yesterday? So, after drooling over Tina’s Honey Roasted Root-Veggies, I decided to alter it a bit and give it a try myself!
Honey Roasted Root-Veggies
Ingredients:
- 1 bag of parsnips
- 1 bag of carrots
- 1 turnip
- 2 sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup honey
- 4 tablespoons of olive oil
- Pinch of salt
Directions:
- Cut all veggies into small cubes and put into a brownie/casserole pan.
- In a small bowl, mix together honey, olive oil, and salt and pour over veggies.
- Bake at 450 for 40-45 minutes.
It came out so delicious!! I had never had turnips or parsnips before and I have to say I am a fan of both now!

I did sweet potatoes with honey once- so good. It’s like the honey carmelized a little… I highly recommend them and will have to experiment with other types of veggies…

Too cute.
I think we’re heading up to Tahoe in a few weekends. I’m looking forward to hanging out in the snow even though I am not adequately prepared for it. I don’t really own snow gear.

Love love love those photos! I miss me some snow! Looks like the cat loves your new fireplace. We love sweet potatoes but I’ve never made turnips or parsnips. The pic looks really good so I think I’ll give the recipe a try.

That is a crazy amount of snow. Georgia pretty much shut down with 5 inches of snow, so I can’t imagine what would happen if we ever got THAT much.
