It's chilly. I am in the mood for something warm and comforting. Maybe a bit traditional and certainly simple to prepare. These Roast Carrots & Parsnips fit the bill.

Because I'll be honest. I am having a little trouble finding my SippitySup mojo lately. The holidays are looming. There is The Table Set Christmas & Holiday Party in two days. I have travel plans for next week. There's an exciting year coming up just around the corner. Blah, blah, blah... I feel a tiny bit overwhelmed. It's a bit like Post Partum Depression (I imagine). Not that a food blog is like a baby. Oh wait, what am I saying? That's exactly what a food blog is like. Because in order to thrive, a blog takes constant care and feeding.

But the fact remains, the blog's gotta eat and my party peeps gotta eat, and of course I gotta feed you, my virtual eaters, too. See why I feel overwhelmed? Still with all the cooking I gotta do. I can't get past the lazy in the kitchen blues these days. So whatever I do it's gotta be simple. But who says simple can't be spectacular?

But the thing about simple foods is in order for them to succeed you need to be sure the simple method you choose is not just simply a short cut, but rather the fast lane to perfection.

I am having a little trouble getting back into the swing of SippitySup this New Year. I don't know if it was my trip to Panama (details coming soon, I promise) or the Holidays... or possibly even something less defined, but lazy is the order of the day in my kitchen these past few days.

Still we gotta eat and I gotta feed you, my virtual eaters, too. So who says simple can't be spectacular?

Root veggies are a great example of a food that can achieve perfection in the simplest of manners.

Sometime in our past we humans were digging around in the dirt and we hit about the idea of eating roots. The world has been a better place ever since!
