Kirwin, I agree – Ron was doing a little too much “game playing” but I liked Mike and thought he deserved to win.

I love Biggest Loser and all-things-jillian! Not a big fan of Don Ron, though.

LOVE beets, especially with goat cheese you could try them as chips (even in the microwave!) i can’t think what else i’ve made…

that summer squash dish sounds awesome, too!

Not a Biggest Loser watcher but I would probably still feel star struck because I am like that. Definitely if Jillian was there, I would have been like a lovesick teenager.
I do root veggies just in the oven with EVOO, kind of boring but why change a classic?

Thank you all for your recipe suggestions. I think I’m going to have to pick up even more root veggies on my next farmers market trip, so I can try them all

I wish I saw more celebrities. It’d be fun. Actually I probably wouldn’t recognize half of them.

I never watched BL but I’d like to do so next season.

Too bad the “healthy chocolate” wasn’t any good.

That’s so cool that you got to see Mike and Ron. I’d want to tell them congrats, and that they’ve been a huge inspiration.

I love roasted root veggies! I either dry roast them (spraying the pan with nonstick spray), or spray them with a little spray and put some herbs on them. Then I stick em in the oven at 400 or so until they’re as cooked as you want them to be. Delicious!

I am so jealous you got to see Biggest Losers! Tara was my favorite.

I like making whipped root veggies. They are like healthier mashed potatoes!

Way to go getting back on the wagon! I bet you could make some fantastic soups by roasting and blending your root veggies.

What about beat and/or turnip chips??

Very cool about seeing Ron & Mike – I didn’t know about the expo, but I totally would have gone had I known about it .

The gratin looks great… I’m putting in on my list!
