if you would have told me 5 years ago that i would be craving beets for dinner i would have told you that you were clinically insane.\u00a0 its not that i don’t like veggies or anything like that, because i most certainly do – except cauliflower – but beets were never my favorite.\u00a0 i have come to learn that the true problem was that i just did not care for pickled beets as much as an unpickled beet.\u00a0 we had a salad at church this past weekend and karen used boiled beets, which i really liked.\u00a0 this peaked my intrigue to try cooking beets at home.\u00a0 will and i got two huge bunches of organic beets this past weekend at the teeter.\u00a0 i got them home and was not quite sure what i was going to come up with, but i knew it would be colorful!\u00a0 i got done work at a regular time tonight and decided it was beet tackle night.\u00a0 i rolled into the kitchen and pulled those pretty little critters out of their bags.\u00a0 they were so gorgeous i had to start snapping photos.\u00a0 the more i did to them, washed them, cleaned them up, peeled them, sliced them, the prettier they became.\u00a0 i decided i would roast them.\u00a0 all vegetables are amazing roasted – right?\u00a0 maybe even cauliflower (maybe i will try it…).\u00a0 into the oven they went for about 40 minutes on 400 degrees.\u00a0 they came out earthy, but\u00a0as sweet as candy!\u00a0 super delish!\u00a0 i plated them up on some bib lettuce, orange slices, goat cheese, and a fresh little champagne vinaigrette.\u00a0 all i can say is yummo!\u00a0\u00a0 if you have never tried this before, you better go get your self some beets right now and try this out!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
