In Season: Beets

These beets look seriously good. Made a beet salad the other day with a chocolate mole type of dressing. Purely experimental but it turned out...edible.

Is Chocolate a Health Food?

I can only speak from my own experience. Been eating dark chocolate 70%++ for about a year now. My cholesterol level came way down. Don't know if dark chocolate is "the" key factor. But it might have helped. At least, it can't hurt!

Cook the Book: Easy Gluten-Free Baking

We just moved to Albuquerque which is 5000 ft above sea level. The recipes in this book used to work until we moved here. Everything we baked, from this book or not, flopped. That's until we got a book to convert regular recipes into high altitude baking. The book is called "Pie in the Sky". Been baking gluten free chocolate desserts. Life is good again!

Love the Doug reference! I now have that funny, simple theme song stuck in my head.

Recipes look fantastic!

Mixing in a hardboiled egg or two with some roasted beets is a fast way to make them a little more filling--an old boss of mine suggested it as it's apparently a classic way to prepare beets in Argentina (if I recall correctly--I might be wrong).

I try to roast about 4 or 5 beets at a time per week. Drop a clove of garlic in with the rinsed and scrubbed beets in foil, some olive oil, S&P, some various herbs (whatever I have fresh) and then roast @ 375 for an hour. Let cool and the skins slip right off. I can take the leftover oil/juice/garlic/herbs in the foil, add some balsamic and have a ready-made dressing.
I then take the roasted beets and add them to salads, add different cheeses, make panzanella salads, bruschettas, soups, etc.

The one thing I haven't gotten into the habit of using are the beet greens. Any suggestions?

I just made some yesterday fresh from the garden. Golden and a few red beets.

Washed, quartered and roasted in a 375 oven proof pan covered in foil.
This time I added an apple sliced in eights, and a few cloves of garlic.

Toss everything with oil, salt and pepper and any herb you like.

Cover and roast for about 45 mins to an hour or until tender.

Baking has been light in our house since my husband's celiac diagnosis last fall, but we adore making brownies (an easy thing to bake gluten-free).
