Hello everyone! Although, it isn't quite Fall yet, I can already feel it's presence all around me. The temperatures have dropped, students are back at school, and my mood is changing. I'm looking for the warm, cozy, comfort food only Fall can bring! Here's a little taste of what's been cooking in my kitchen...
Beets are in season from Summer through to Fall. This is a beet salad. First, I roasted beets in the oven, sliced them and then added crumbled goat cheese, parsley, a little extra virgin olive oil, salt and freshly cracked pepper. It is DELICIOUS! Give a try...I think you'll like it (even if you don't love beets).
