Bergy: This wonderful Sunshine recipe became a favorite in our house. I served it for our best friends one night and the next for our other 6 friends at our get-together. They all raved about it and cleaned the bowl completely up. My husband told me to keep the recipe for another day.

    I added half an onion, chopped, to each of the vegetables before boiling them. The result was just great!

    Made this last night for a special dinner and like all your recipes I have tried so far, was not dissappointed! I was making a typical down easterner's supper for some guests we were having over (Ham, beans, scalloped potatoes, brown bread etc.) and I wanted a nice vegetable dish to go along with it and chose this one. Excellent choice. I forgot to put the sugar in with the carrots, so I just added a pinch of brown sugar when I mashed them together with the butter. I also added a grating of nutmeg. Otherwise i did everything like the recipe stated. Thanks so much for a delicious recipe!
