Beets!

Ok its not really a recipe but Eric's mom is growing a bunch of beets in her garden and I was really craving them tonight so this is what we did:

Wash the beets really well and cut into evenly sized pieces

Put them in a baking dish (we used a pie plate)

Put water in the dish to just cover the bottom

Cover with foil

Bake at 425 for 25-40 minutes or until they pierce easily (its like checking to see if a potato is done)

Sprinkle with salt and pepper, or other seasoning (I ate my first couple plain, they're great like that too!) Next I want to do sweet potatoes at the same time...I think that will be pretty (and healthy!)
