We couldn't resist....

Amy sent more recipes and two of them seemed like they'd be good for a holiday meal. Since Thanksgiving day is tomorrow for those of us in the US I figured I'd post these just in case some of you are wanting to try something new.
Mashed Sweet Potatoes and Parsnips

2 large sweet potatoes , peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces
2 medium parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch slices
1/4 cup evaporated skimmed milk
1 1/2 Tablespoons butter or margarine
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

Combine sweet potatoes and parsnips in large saucepan Cover with cold water, bring to a boil over high heat.Reduce heat, simmer, uncovered for 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

Drain water from vegetables, return to pan. Add milk, butter, salt and nutmeg. Mash potato mixture to desired consistency over low heat. Stir in chives. Serve warm.

Broccoli Supreme

2 pkgs (10 ounces) frozen chopped Broccoli
1 cup fat free reduced sodium chicken broth
2 Tablespoons reduced fat mayonaise
2 teaspoons instant minced onion (optional)

Place broccoli in saucepan, stir in chicken broth, mayonaise and onion. Simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is tender. Uncover, continue to simmer, stirring occasionally until most of the liquid has evaporated. Serve warm.

Once again, thank Amy for sending these. She's a great source and we'd love for her to know she's very much appreciated.
