Sounds good. I'll have to pick up some jicama this week.

Tony -- Have you checked Walmart? I'm in the NW too, but I've found our Walmart carries it.

Hi Rena! :)

I've tried this cauliflower and it was delish!

A brand new Walmart just opened about 12 miles from us. I will check it out in a few weeks after the initial crowds have died down.
I plan to make a day of it as the store is HUGE!
What you do today is what matters!

I love this as a side.  I also make it with sour cream, cheddar cheese, little butter and some time a few onions!

Turnips are much better than jicama. I use them for all kinds of stuff. Mash potatoes, cheesy potato casserole french fries. I replace all that with turnips!

Tony & beebs I love turnips too.  I bet that recipe would be great with them.  I just made some last night with Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce heavy cream and Parmesan cheese.  They were delish! Sliced and baked yumm! :)

This is absolutely amazing.  I replaced the Jicama with turnips as they are easier to find....first time in 31 years of marriage that I ever cooked turnips LOL!  It was baking when my husband came home from work.  Because of the look he assumed it was Jicama.   I just love his expression when he finds out what I have experimented with LOL  :D

We had this with broiled asparagus and london broil roast.  Ummmmm delish!
Look out Hawaii, I'm on my way!!

We like to eat!! :D The reason fat to skinny works so well is the replacements .Its a lifestyle change.We don't remove foods from your diet we replace them .That way after you lose the weight there are no foods to add back to make you gain weight.Cycle broken ;)
