Parsnip Garlic Mashed Potatoes Recipe

The more I travel and meet up with the friends I’ve made through blogging the more I realize how much we as people need community. We need someone who understands the things that we’ve been going through. That can relate to the struggles we have and can support us in those struggles. But we also need someone strong enough to call us up out of the “rubble” of life and challenge us to positive thinking. We can’t walk through life alone, it’s too hard.

Life is totally a journey. It’s like a road that we are constantly driving on. Sometimes that road is bumpy, sometimes that road is smooth, sometimes it’s winding out of control, and sometimes it’s straight as an arrow. Those winding and curving times are the times we need that community to lift us up and encourage us to push on to that straight road that’s just around the corner.

I want to be that person. It’s easy to be someone that listens and sulks with someone when they are going through a hard time. Misery loves company. But it’s another thing to look them in the face, say I’m sorry but give them hope! THAT is life changing and those are the friends I want in my life. Someone to speak the hard facts and love me.

I feel like I have those friends in my life and my prayer is that I am that person to my friends.

As I sit in the airport waiting to board my plane and head back to my husband and little guy my heart is full. Thank you to all the sweet friends that fill me up to overflowing! Till next time!

Speaking of filling up, these Parnsip Garlic Mashed Potatoes will fill you up in the best way possible!

Why I Love These Mashed Potatoes

Parsnips are a root vegetable and taste kinda like a cross between potatoes and carrots with a slight spiciness. But when you add butter, a touch of milk, grated garlic, and chives they taste absolutely divine.

These are probably the creamiest mashed potatoes I have ever made and the most unique. I have actually made them three times already and have fallen in love with them so I know you will too! I recently served them with a Beef Bourguignon that I made with Bison and OMG sooo good! (cannot wait to share that recipe with you)

Since Thanksgiving is less than 3 weeks away I’m sure you’re starting to collect holiday recipes on your Pinterest Boards and file recipes away for later use. These Parsnip Garlic Mashed Potatoes need to be on that list! I cannot wait to hear what you think!

Bon Appetite my friends! Hope you have a Happy Monday!
