Peppery Penobscot Turnip Fries
Contributed by Leda Beth Gray. Modified from Yamuna's Table by Yamuna Devi. This is a fun and delicious way to ease your way into eating turnips if you aren't used to them.
2 1/2 lbs. medium turnips
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 1/2 tsp ground pepper or to taste
1/4 c. grated parmesan
Olive oil
2 T. lime juice (optional)
Peel the turnips and cut into 2 ½ x 1/2 inch sticks. Combine the turnips, spices and parmesan in a plastic bag. Close the bag and shake it all up to coat the turnip sticks.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a baking pan with a thin coating of olive oil, and spread the sticks out on a single layer. When the oven is heated, bake them for 30-35 minutes, or until the turnip sticks are tender and golden, turning once. Serve hot, with or without a sprinkle of lime juice.
Parsnip Patties
Contributed by Kiera Chick. Been looking for an interesting way to cook parsnips besides adding them to a stew? Try parsnip patties! They're simple, healthy, and can be made from Maine-grown parsnips. Delicious with sour cream or apple sauce on top, just like potato pancakes!
4 medium parsnips
1 egg yolk
salt and pepper
1 egg white, slightly beaten
1 cup soft whole wheat bread crumbs (if desired, mixed with corn mean or wheat germ)
butter or oil for frying
Chop parsnips; steam until tender. Mash thoroughly. Mix in egg yolk and salt and pepper to taste. Form into patties, dip into egg white, then roll in crumbs. Saute in oil or butter until golden brown. These can also be cooked in ungreased skillet or in oven. Four servings.

Fiddler’s Green Muesli
Contributed by Leda Beth Gray. I've never liked oatmeal, but I found in experimenting with Fiddler's Green Muesli, available in bulk at the Co-op, that the nuts and dried fruit help it a lot.
The biggest factor that made it palatable to me was to cook it for only two minutes in the microwave. It actually still has some texture to it, not like the "glue" I grew up with. I actually like it! And it is a very healthy choice for breakfast.
1/2 cup Maine-made Muesli
1/2 cup water
Mix together and microwave for 2 minutes or more.
