Thanksgiving comes early October in Canada! So I thought I’d share a favorite holiday recipe with our readers today of mixed vegetables and seasonal yummies.

What you need:

wash, chop, mix in a pan:

2 large yams (1 inch chunks)
3 medium potatoes (1 inch chunks)
1 rutabaga (1 inch chunks)
2 large green apples (1 inch chunks, keep the skin on)
4 parsnips (peeled and cut)
4 carrots (chopped)
1 cup of dried cranberries
2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
(1 small Spanish onion–optional) I say this is optional because I don’t eat onions and find it muddies most recipes

liquid mixture:

1/3 cup real maple syrup
1 stem of rosemary peeled and put in the mixture
1/2 cup of olive oil
4 cloves of garlic (I crush mine)

pour on the liquids.

place 2 sprigs of rosemary on top of the pot full.

preheat the oven to 400 Fahrenheit and cook for 45 minutes or until browned. (stirring occassionaly while it’s in the oven)

I hope you try and enjoy my recipe, and have a great weekend whether or not you are celebrating Thanksgiving!
