Sounds so good, I can't wait to try this! : )  I think I will add some ham or spam to it, too.

This does sound good.  My husband wasn't crazy about the Macafoney & Cheese, but I'm sure he would like this.  I have been trying to make things that he would eat too.  He is thin but it is good for him to eat healthy too, besides I'm trying get rid of the idea that my kitchen is a restaurant.

Hey Doug,

DOGGONE IT!!!... I wish I could find Jicama around here!!! :( :( :( :( :( :(

Being a tropical plant, they do not do well in northern climates like here in the Northwest.
They require 9 months of warm weather to grow large tubers.
Around here, we're lucky if we get more than 2 months warm weather a year.

Every once in a while, I get a real Jones for something like this jicama au gratin recipe.

Do you know if there are any substitutes for Jicama?

joagain:
I will have to try this that is for sure
