You can't BEAT a BEET!

I can't say enough about beets. I know, even the word "beet" sounds unappetizing. But my new favorite food is fresh beets, root and stems, from the farmer's market each Saturday. Bake the beets like sweet potatoes and boil the greens like turnips. They are incredible. And that purple color is rich in antioxidants and all types of vitamins and minerals.
