I had turnips, rutabagas and parsnips to use up from my weekly CSA Farm basket and really wanted to try something new. The family hasn't been all that crazy about these root veggies (they are pretty new to our family). I had made bacon the previous night and had the fat left over, so I used the bacon fat to cook the veggies and substituted a bit of diced up ham instead of the bacon meat. Also, I used sweet potato instead of carrot and added some potato, too. I didn't make a full recipe. Probably more like half (didn't really measure...just used what I had). Everyone really liked this. I will definitely make it again.
