As a child, I was always suspicious of beets. Now, I’m head-over-heels in love with the bold and brazen scarlet-purple bulbs. These organic beets from Sophia Garden are roasted with a drizzle of olive oil and a dash of salt and pepper for about an hour in a 400 degree oven. They are a perfect marriage with fresh-picked greens, goat cheese, candied walnuts and a light vinaigrette. Amore!
While I take a brief holiday from blogging, I’m offering up a tasting menu of some of my creations from the organic produce grown at Sophia Garden. Enjoy the bounty of summer, and I’ll be back soon.

I've never had fresh beets until a few years ago. I always thought they came in a can. Enjoy your vacation...hmmmn...I wonder where you are going ;D!
ReplyDeleteI want those beets. Really. They look absolutely beautiful in that photo -- nicely done!
ReplyDeleteHave fun on your event, my friend. And beets remind me greatly of my mom!
