Made as written for ZWT6 & this recipe was headed for 5* from the moment I saw it since a variation of this rutabaga dish is a pers fave of my DH. This recipe adds carrot which I esp liked. I used a combo of both cinnamon + nutmeg along w/the optional butter to top this tasty puree. This is an easy-fix I made easier by using my magic-bullet. My camera failed me in my haste, but DH made me promise to repeat this dish w/a pic for you .. high praise from him, so thx for posting this for him/us. :-)

I joined Recipezaar to learn new recipes that are home cooked. I grew up having ready-meals like Encor and Stouffers and needed recipes that don't simply require opening a box and plopping in the oven! I enjoy cooking when I have the time to try new dishes. I make every recipe as written if I'm reviewing it to give a true review. If I make alterations that aren't in the directions, I don't feel it's a true reflection of the recipe; it's another recipe to me.
