Whipped Carrots and Onions

 Happy Monday Lovelies

It’s a chilly start to the week.. so on my breakfast tray today was a warming.. comforting bowl of oatmeal.. no sugar but sweetened with a spoonful of last summer’s strawberry jam. My dad used to put salt on his porridge.. I’m not that desperate!!

It was laundry day again...and as I was hanging out the washing on the line...I saw something a bit unsual..

On investigating... I found this little chap popping his head in and out of his burrow. Gophers have found the Little Blue House!! I love all Gods creatures.. except spiders... but if he reaches the Victory Garden.. there may be trouble!

Last nights dinner was Turkey Nests..using some leftover turkey from the freezer.One of our favourite side dishes is Whipped Carrots and Onions from the Better Homes and Gardens Magazine December 1940.  

Its very simple three ingredient recipe and although I love the taste of fresh carrots.. this dish just elevates the flavour slightly ... and makes a bit of a change.

3 cups sliced carrots
2 tablespoons cream
1 cup sliced onions
2 tablespoons butter 

1½ teaspoon salt

• Cook carrots and onions in boiling salted water until tender.
• Drain and mash; add cream, butter, and salt; 
• Beat until smooth.
