You’re welcome. Sorry it was long! I hadn’t tried parsnips either until recently. They don’t have a strong flavor of anything except a hint of carrot. You can boil and mash them. I did that and the texture was sort of like mashed potatoes. Not bad. I like them cooked in the oven, though. Thanks for some ideas as well. I should use more avocado. I sincerely hope you feel better. I grew up eating whatever I wanted, never a worry until the past couple years when everything seems to be creeping up. Diet changed a lot of it for the better.
