Recipe Notes

Chili is the best. Easy to make, simple to clean up, great for leftovers, and really great for you. This white bean version has the sweetness of parsnips and the creaminess of the beans – and the potatoes work great for thickening. Your kids won’t even know there are vegetables in it – the parsnips are easily mistaken for more potatoes.

"Good motives butter no parsnips, and hell is paved with buttered parsnips."
