  1. DAMN YOU! Its 4:14 and I am hungry for a snack, but, (a) do not have any beets in the house, and (b)have to leave for a meeting in 45 minutes. This snack requires planning. I will plan to do it another day (YUM)

  2. I usually marinate my cooked beets and keep them on hand to use as in a salad or as a side dish. I dice the peeled beets and marinate with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, a little salt & pepper and either dill or basil. This keeps in the frig for a long time.

  4. Pam,
    Thanks for your comment. I will try that with my next batch. The lovely thing about leaving the beets “naked” is they arrive at any preparation ready to take on flavor for that use.
    I love comments. Thanks.
    And I love the frequency and quality of your comments.
