Question about measuring veggies
 

Do you measure them raw or cooked?? Also why cant you have onions cooked?

RAW, cooking onions releases their sugars.

A lot of veggies release sugars when heated, this process is called carmelizing. I was cooking my turnips and making them into fries (baked of course) and they were carmelizing in the oven...I've changed the way I cooked them and the pounds have been melting away faster...

Thanks to you, New Englander, I am cutting out my turnips altogether. I only liked them when they got brown, and since I like many other veggies, I can live without them! Hoping to see an increase in loss next week, but any loss is a good one ;)

Wow!! Thanks ladies! I will no longer be eating onions!

Are mushrooms ok??

Yes, mushrooms are okay and they are so savory and delicious when baked with some cauliflower, celery and garlic tossed in some seasoning with a drizzle of olive oil. Reminds me of veggies cooked with a pot roast ;)
