Jicama is da bomb!
-
I'll be looking for this next trip out.
-
Cathy try walmart for the jicama .By the way the I posted 2 potatoe salad recipes one with jicama and the other is made with cauliflower just in case you cant get jicama.
-
The Jicama "Potato" Salad was great...a hit with my family, thanks Umpa!
Jenn
-
We aim to please! ;D
-
I'm going to have to try it with the Cauliflower I'm in AK we don't get those taters..
I've made mashed taters out of cauliflower before and liked it
-
You should have the cauliflower mash potatoe recipe in the book.I like to make twice baked potatoes with them, you know with bacon,cheddar ,onions and sour cream.Like you make potatoe skins with the potatoe skins.
-
;D
-
how do you make a twice baked potato with the cauliflower plz ???
-
You make the cauliflower like you do for cauliflower mashed potatoes.(Its in the book)Then spread the potatoes out in a baking dish and put green onions, crumbled cooked bacon, and cheddar cheese on top.Put in the oven until cheese is bubbly .Take out serve with sour cream.YUMMY!
-
thanks does sound very yummy
-
It gives me that baked potato taste.You can make cauliflower mash potatoes like a baked potato, whatever your favorite topping are.
-
made this last night and you were so right very yummy and the kids even enjoyed it
-
Im hoping to get a grindy thing soon!
-
I am glad the kids liked it 3angels! ;D
Beebs i am afraid you will chop off your fingers! :D
-
It's that or eating cauliflower that looks like I took a hack saw to it lol!
-
I have seen them at walmart for like $25. :)
-
Unless they go on sale atm they're $40+
-
I LOVE Jicama. I have eaten it raw for years but never cooked it. I am anxious to try cooking it. It's not that easy to find in NC however.
-
i live in North Carolina in the summers, we will actually be leaving Saturday to go up there when Doug gets back from the 700 club.i buy it at ingalls and walmart.We are in the Maggie valley,waynesville area.
-
I live in NC and I find it at Ingles and Walmart.
-
Lucky people to be in the NC mountains. We live in Raleigh area. I can find Jicama sometimes but it is not optimal, usually not fresh. Doug and I vacation in Hot Springs and hope to retire thereabouts someday! And BTW, I will definitely be making the twice baked cauliflower, that sounds INCREDIBLE!!!
-
For whatever reason we have lots of fresh jicama cheap here.
-
I have found good jicama at Whole Foods, it is not very convenient to where I live or work though. I think I am going to try the Farmer's Market this weekend.
-
Try asking you local grocer to carry it, promise him or her a nice plate of Umpa's potato salad :)
-
I will definately have to try these, as our family loves potato salad.
-
Welcome country girl! Make sure you follow my instructions to soften up the jicama, and if you can't find jicama cauliflower works well too!Where are you from?If I can help just let me know :)
-
I'm experimenting and it's probably been done already but what the heck ;D. I took my crock pot cut up my jicama into potato salad pieces last night put it on low and let it go waiting for it to cool now. Still a little crunchy but not to bad.
-
Very interesting Phil, let me know how it works out I have never tried that before.If its not soft enough you can always put it in a skillet per my directions on recipe. ;)
-
Well, I brought it to work with me. I made it here gave it a try. It was a little crunchy. I think if I let it go longer it might do the trick. Jicama takes a while no matter how ya do it. I'm going to try BBQ next.
-
Jicama now at my regular Wal-Mart so no special trips to Whole Foods for that anymore! Now if only they would get some xylitol and almond flour.....
-
If your walmart carries NOW brand vitamins in the pharmacy they can order the NOW Xylitol ;)
-
The Walmart in the next town over from here carries almond flour, but the one in my town does not. I found it at Ingles. I wonder if you ask your Walmart manager to order it if he can get it because some Walmarts do sell it. It should be in their warehouse and/or ordering system.
-
You got it owensmath.And if your ingalls carries Bobs red mill flours they can order any Bobs red mill products, or they will put you in touch with the vendor who stocks the store and he will stock it for you. ;)
-
Welcome country girl! Make sure you follow my instructions to soften up the jicama, and if you can't find jicama cauliflower works well too!Where are you from?If I can help just let me know Smiley
I live in a little village called Redgranite, Wisconsin. Even though there is a Mexican store here, they do not carry any jicamas. So I will use cauliflower. Thanks Umpa
-
Try turnips!!
-
Thank you umpa and Doug you guys are the greatest. I am on the search for the jicama and until I find it I will settle for the cauliflower.
-
You are very welcome :) I like the cauli recipe too...we shake it up a bit at times by adding chopped ham or crispy bacn bits too! ::) yummy!
-
Great idea Doug! ::) ::) ::)
-
Well I made the potato salad with the cauli and all I can say oh my goodness . If I had know that you could do all this with cauliflower I would have been thin a long time ago.
Thanks guys ,once a gain yall are the bombs matter a fact the whole forum is !
-
Don't forget the Tater Salad!!!!!!!!! No party is complete without :)
-
We'll make a side of this today to have with our wings.....YUMMY :)
