2 parsnips, peeled and cut into batons
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons sesame oil

Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan and saute the parsnips until softened, then add the brown sugar and soy sauce.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

I really enjoyed this. I am on a parsnip kick, and this was delightfully different.

This was a surprisingly yummy dish. The parsnips became carmelized, and were delicious! I added cauliflower too.

At the grocery store my daughter saw parsnips and insisted I buy them. I thought oh great what am I going to do with these? This recipe was not only easy but she and my son both thought they were delicious. Always happy to find a way to make my kids love veggies!

Just using what I had in the fridge, I had some gyoza, and lettuce from the garden. This worked well as a side. I cut the brown sugar to 2 tsp and added a tsp of rice wine vinegar. Used 3 parsnips for 8 oz total clean.
