does any one know if there is a way to print out the recipes without the wwole doucument printing?

hi tanya,
you can drag your cursor over the text that you want to print then copy and paste it into a word document... that's one way. another, if you're on a pc is to drag your cursor over the text you want to print then go to 'file -> print' and choose the radio button next to "selection" in the print dialog box.
let me know if that helps!

Another recipe to add, I just made it last night and was great.

Turnip/Potato Au Gratin

This Au Gratin is easy to make and uses much of what you have in the kitchen. This is an easy recipe and you can modify it for the amount of people with the number of turnips and potatoes. The ingredients/directions listed below will serve 4 people or 2 people with leftovers.

Ingredients:
2 Potatoes
2 Turnips
½ Onion (any variety)
Fresh Garlic
1 small container (1 cup) Plain Yogurt
Milk
Shredded Cheese (any variety)
Butter
Breadcrumbs
Salt & Pepper
Additional spices

Pre-heat oven about 375/400. First, clean 2 potatoes and 2 turnips. Remove, greens, eyes, tails, and skin if desired. Thinly slice potatoes and turnips. Once they are thinly sliced, they need to be cooked/baked them. I stuck mine in microwave casserole dish with a bit of butter and cooked them for about 5-7 minutes. Or you can put them in the oven for about 15-20.

While they are baking in the microwave, chop up 2 big garlic cloves, 1/2 of an onion. Add some olive oil, onion, and garlic to a pan on the stove, cook down. Turn to low, then add a cup of plain yogurt, some shredded cheese about a 1/3 cup or so, a splash of milk, salt, pepper, and other spices to your like. If it doesn’t look like enough to surround the amount of potatoes/turnip, you can add more yogurt or milk.

Once the potatoes are done cooking, take the yogurt mixture, pour it on the potatoes/turnips. Mix around. Then top off with a little more shredded cheese and breadcrumbs.

Bake uncovered for about 20 minutes until brown and bubbly.

Ellen, does that recipe work with just turnips, or are the potatoes necessary for...texture? whatever?

I found the recipe on the web and it was for both. You can taste the difference between the potatoes and the turnips, but it wouldn't be bad with just turnips.

I found the recipe on the web and it called for both; you can taste the difference between the potatoes and the turnips. Both have a similar starchy consistancy. I think a turnip au gratin wopuld be just as good.
