As I listened to this, I felt the need to share my love for beets! When people tell me they don’t like beets I try to convince them it’s only because they haven’t tried them roasted (with the enthusiasm like I’m some sort of beet salesman). I only recently experimented with them in a soup. It was a simple puree of roasted beets, onions and garlic in chicken stock. Then I topped it off with (leftover) beet greens sauteed in farro – delicious and beautiful colors too!
Jackie, that soup sounds delicious!
I was totally laughing about what you cook when your husbands aren’t home. 🙂 I have a go to favorite as well – roasted broccoli with garam masala on it over spinach with tuna. Such an odd combination, but it totally works for me!
