Thanksgiving is near, and this parsnip and carrot mash is the best side dish for fall. We love making this when root vegetables are at their peak, and sometimes I enjoy it as a main course because it’s that comforting. The photos here show parsnips straight from our garden—if you planted them in spring, parsnips mature in mid to late October and make a perfect seasonal addition to your holiday table.
Parsnips are similar to carrots but with a bolder, earthier flavor. They aren’t as sweet as carrots, which is why combining both creates a well-balanced mash. When boiled, parsnips tend to mash more smoothly than carrots, though I like to leave a bit of texture in the finished dish. This recipe is simple, full of flavor, and pairs wonderfully with turkey and dinner rolls.

I use a crockpot all year long. In summer it keeps the kitchen cool, and in fall and winter it’s perfect for soups and easy dinners.
Here’s a simple trick for busy days: put washed potatoes in the crockpot in the morning, set it, and by dinner you have a baked potato bar. It’s an effortless way to serve a comforting meal without spending time at the oven.
My favorite quick topping is a can of heated chili with extra seasoning, plus shredded cheese and sour cream. It’s one of our go-to autumn meals, though I’d happily eat it any time of year.
