We bought two bunches of beets – red and golden.On the Saturday before Christmas, we made our usual trip to the farmers market. We had several days of food to plan for and we bought a lot of veggies. We bought more based on what sounded good, rather than with a plan for what to cook. We wound up buying kale, spinach, cauliflower, red beets, golden beets, Brussels sprouts, and cherry tomatoes.
Beets And Brussels SproutsAfter we got it all home, I began to wonder what I would do with all those veggies. It seemed like a lot! Plus, it seemed that I would have so many different dishes. So I set to work with the challenge of using everything. Oh, yeah. We also had mushrooms from the week before that we hadn’t used. I needed to use those up as well. Here’s what I came up with:
First up, I created a dish with beets and Brussels sprouts. I also used balsamic vinegar, onion, and slivered almonds in this dish. Delicious! Recipe coming soon!
Sauteed Mushrooms and OnionsNext were the mushrooms. We have a Christmas Eve tradition of having steaks cooked on the grill. I love to have sauteed mushrooms and onions with steak. So I combined the mushrooms with onions we had on hand.
Sauteed Kale With Almonds And RaisinsI was wanting to try something different with the kale. I wound up cooking the kale with almonds and raisins and a splash of balsamic vinegar. Recipe coming soon!
I love to cook. I’m also a health coach, a path I chose after going through a health crisis which taught me the importance of eating healthy meals. Now, I want to combine the two — health coaching and cooking — to help people learn to cook healthy meals. To plan healthy meals. And to eat healthy meals. For more, please visit Your Cooking Coach.
Okay, I’m going to have to try your cauliflower recipe–I was wanting to start adding more cauliflower to our vegetable sides. Also, I can’t wait for your kale recipe! We love kale here and I need some new ways to fix it.
Those all look terrific…especially the roast cauliflower which because one of our favorite dishes this fall/winter.
OMG I am totally drooling over your brussel sprouts and kale dishes. Yum yum! I definitely want the recipe for that 🙂
