Roasted Turnips/Cauliflower (w/ Bacon Fat!) and MC Yogi

Veggies + bacon = win.

Oven Roasted Turnips and Cauliflower
This is a go-to dish for me. Veggies just taste better roasted sometimes. Don't get me wrong; I love raw veggies. I also love slow-cooked veggies. Pan fried veggies. Blended veggies. Dehydrated veggies. My mom must be proud if she reads this. I love my veggies.

Ingredients
As many turnips as you wish, cubed into 1 inch squares (give or take)
Cauliflower, sliced up into somewhat smaller pieces (or not...how's that for specific instructions? sorry.)
Salt
Pepper
Bacon drippings (cold - it just makes it easier to work with)

Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
2. Slice up your veggies.

Turnips and ol' faithful (my cutting board)

3. Put everything in a large bowl, add your bacon drippings, salt, and pepper.

Turnips and cauliflower all nice and sliced up + BACON dripping ;). Love it.

4. Using your hands, get everything nice and covered evenly. Really get in there and have some fun with it ;).
5. Using parchment paper or foil (or nothing), put your veggies spread out on a large cookie sheet.

I was lazy. Straight on the tray they went. It smelled like bacon.

6. Bake 'em for 20-25 minutes or so stirring them once at around 10-12 minutes. Watch them closely near the end so they don't burn.
7. Mmmm....bacon + veggies =). (Yes, mmmm is a step.)

The end result. O' yeah.

Right now I have a four layer dehydration session going. My first Kiwi dehydration, more bananas with cinnamon, nutmeg, and a dash of coconut palm sugar (why not!), and some soaked cashews on top. I'll make a post on all of that as soon as they're done so I can get some good end result shots. I also bought some grass fed, aged sharp cheddar today. Very gray area. I'll have a whole post on that too. Lastly (but not least!) I'll be making some paleo carrot cake with paleo frosting soon. Stay tuned!
