This was an experiment that worked out pretty well. Purple carrots and turnips. I added them to a sweet spiced honey butter. I added a dash of thyme but it probably isn’t even necessary.

Strawberries and cream cheese is probably my favorite. Lydia prefers blueberries, and sometimes I let her have whipped cream too. Ingredients: 2 Eggs 1/2 cup … Continue reading
