WE LOVE BEETS!

Ryan and I are in love with beets! It wasn't always that way! Like some of you, we used to think they tasted like dirt... But then, we grew some for the Farm To Table Restaurant at the Garden we Managed and they couldn't use them all and sent the extras home with us!

We don't waste anything on our homestead especially food and we are always looking for freebies so... We roasted them to bring out their natural sweetness and boy were we surprised!

Instantly, we fell in love! We eat beets every chance we get now! Our kids even love them and gobble them up! We planted a huge bed of red and yellow beets this spring and are now harvesting like crazy! I think I will try making beet chips in the dehydrator and pickled beets!

Here is my YouTube Vlog of Harvesting my beets and other fun things on our homestead...

Thanks for Reading and Watching!
