(2,278 posts)One of the tastiest vegetables I've ever had, when they're prepared correctly. Buy one or two rutabagas, peel them and cut them into small pieces perhaps an inch square, put them into a pot and cover them up about two-thirds of the way in water, then add two or three big glops of margarine, season to taste (I use salt and pepper and minced garlic and Tabasco sauce), then bring it all to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 25 minutes or so, until the rutabagas are tender enough to eat but still firm, then scoop them onto your plate and enjoy! Did I say, they are really tasty?
I also make really good macaroni and cheese. I prepare one of those Kraft mac & cheese dinners according to the package directions, then at the end add one of those 12 or 16 ounce packages of shredded Kraft sharp cheddar cheese. I'm the only person I've ever known who puts ENOUGH cheese in macaroni and cheese.
When I was working (I retired 10 years ago) we used to have pot luck Thanksgiving dinner every year. Everybody would bring a dish and our employer provided the turkey and stuffing. My contribution was always rutabagas and macaroni and cheese. I miss those Thanksgivings because the food was always just heavenly.
