testbeet You have no idea how hard it is for me to develop recipes on this blog that do not highlight beets everyday. If I had it my way, every recipe would include my favorite root vegetable. However, since I don't want the world to turn purple I try to strategically stagger my beet recipes so they don't appear on here everyday! mecarrots! Thank god we are finally harvesting my other favorite root vegetable. Hello carrots! You're either going to turn purple or orange if you continue to read this blog. stand!! The left side of our farmers market booth is looking pretty bright! Speaking of bright, check out our purple scallions! These guys are awesome! sallions2 We planted this specific variety because I was worried we didn't have enough purple produce! beets12 Just kidding. beet7-8 If you are a beet lover this simple dish is easy to whip up. I highly recommend a glass of red wine just to keep up with the purple theme going on here!
