When you think of fall vegetables what comes to mind? For many people, fall is the best time of year to enjoy parsnips, turnips, greens and rutabagas.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

If you've never cooked rutabagas, turnips, greens or parsnips before then there are a few tips to consider at the store and when preparing. For rutabagas and turnips, look for smooth, round veggies that are firm to the touch. You'll need to peel the outer skins before cooking. Kale and mustard greens have a sharper taste than parsnips or rutabagas. Most cooks find that their texture is better if cooked with very little water. Parsnips look like pale carrots and should be scraped before cooking.

Are you ready to cook up some yummy fall vegetables for your family meals? The following are some easy recipes for you to try. Enjoy!
