But last time I made beets I had a bunch leftover and I made a beet bisque that was heavenly. I cooked onion and celery and then added the beets and some thyme and white wine and chicken stock and then pureed it and added some sour cream at the table. It was surprisingly good.

I usually pair them with carrots. I will say, though, that everybody seems to prefer golden beets to red beets, so that's what we grow. And I always feel guilty for having to toss the beet greens because I didn't get around to them in time. They're good sauteed in olive oil and garlic with fried eggs.Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02894558125598913380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836262699520893805.post-52608067066653897092013-07-23T00:02:55.676-07:002013-07-23T00:02:55.676-07:00Oh, and good luck with that seven days of blogging...Oh, and good luck with that seven days of blogging! ;)<br /><br />I am hoping for TWO days!!<br />Charihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17454630511757286221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836262699520893805.post-67877568790036896772013-07-23T00:01:17.735-07:002013-07-23T00:01:17.735-07:00Beets are not my favorite either, but I grow them....Beets are not my favorite either, but I grow them......because they taste wonderful roasted with other root veggies.....that I also grow. I roast them in the oven almost exactly like my potatoes....and you already have that recipe :) I also like to add minced garlic and medium cut onion sometimes.<br /><br />I cut them up in small cubes.......turnips, beets, carrots, rutabaga, sweet potatoes.<br /><br />This is a cool website for your needs: <br /><br />http://localfoods.about.com/od/preparationtips/tp/rootvegetables.htm<br /><br />We tried making beet chips several times and they just have not worked out for us.<br /><br />Try roasting like my potatoes......with a couple of other veggies. Yum. And so much better for you than those plain potatoes. :)<br /><br />Charihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17454630511757286221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836262699520893805.post-57537525177745094382013-07-22T23:07:49.689-07:002013-07-22T23:07:49.689-07:00So nice I inspired:) Very intrigued by a Catholic...So nice I inspired:) Very intrigued by a Catholic Bible Study, intrigued actually by any study with parish folks, have been thinking about this for a while.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04448595911801738792noreply@blogger.com
