A Non-Sexy Salad That Will Rock Your World: Roasted Beets and Caraway on Wilted Greens

I know there’s nothing sexy about beets and caraway, well that is until you taste it. That’s high praise from someone who doesn’t like caraway that much. I found this recipe in the great vegetarian cookbook called Cafe Paradiso Seasons by Denis Cotter. This is by far the cookbook I get the most use out…

Beet and Pear Slaw Totillas with Dill Creme Fraiche

Beet and Pear Slaw on Tortillas with Dill Crème Fraiche

The word slaw is kind of like the word casserole…there’s just nothing sexy about it! Hey baby, want some SLAW for dinner? Even if you say it with a slack jaw, “Slaw…” Still not that appetizing. But THIS slaw is different, nothing at all like it’s grandfather, the coleslaw, so don’t let the name…

Powerhouse Breakfast Juice and the 30 Day Yoga Challenge!

I have been test driving different juicers for about 6 weeks. I started with some low end ones, slowly building my way up to more expensive ones. So far I’ve reached the $199 Breville model with no real luck. I’ll keep you posted on the juicer front, but I suspect, like with most things,…

Maple Roasted Yellow Beets and Apples

I came across these beautiful yellow beets and I simply could not help myself. I’m a sucker for beets, but most of the time where we live, yellow beets are still a little bit of a novelty. In hind site I think this dish would really pop with the red ones, but either way there…

The Lazy Man’s Polish Borscht Recipe

I love buying beets, not because I love beets so much that I can’t wait to eat them, but rather that I can buy them and use them in a recipe when I feel like it…like 2 months later. They have such an amazing shelf life. The farmer I purchase my produce from sells…

Warm Lemony Navy Beans with Roasted Beets and a Mint Yogurt Sauce

What the heck do you do with a big bag of beets? This question was posed to me last year after my sister harvested a ridonculous amount of beets from her garden. “There are all kinds of things to do with beets,” I answered. ”You can roast them and freeze them, pickle them, grate them and…

Red Velvet Fudge Cake aka Beet Cake

Trial and error! Surprisingly it’s the error that we liked best. It’s funny how some of the best recipes are found by mistake. I forgot the 2 tsp of baking powder in this recipe until it was already in the oven and too late to fix. Though it was lovely with it, much lighter and…

Roasted Beet Soup with a Basil Yogurt Cream

Sexy Comfort Food….Is that even possible? Well, I think that this soup qualifies. The richness of this purplely red color, the smooth texture on the tongue, a mingling of fresh basil and the taste of earthy goodness makes this one of my favorite soups. I look forward to beets every fall. Though I enjoy them frequently throughout…

Savory Beet and Yam Flan with Pancetta and Goat cheese

There are a few potato flans floating out there and many options for yams. However, I wanted to create something that not only could serve as a side dish but also as an interesting main. We had a couple of pounds of beets and some organic yams and used them to make a beautifully layered flan….
