Final menu is still being set, but one side dish is going to be roasted turnips and rutabagas.

Roasted Root Vegetables

1. Preheat your oven to 400F.
2. Peal and cube the vegetables.
3. Toss the vegetables in enough vegetable oil or bacon grease if you have it for a light coat.  Roughly a tablespoon depending on how many veggies you have.
4. In one layer on a baking sheet, bake the vegetable for about 30 minutes, or until they are mostly done.
5. Remove from the oven and toss the vegetables in prepared pesto.  
6. Again, in a single layer, roast the vegetables for another 10-20 minutes to dry the pesto out a bit and get it to soak in.
7. Serve warm or cold.
