A favorite way to use beets! We love to put it on crackers, on sandwiches, or as a dip for a veggie tray. The beautiful color makes this dish irresistible. Especially attractive on a charcuterie board. Make with more or less maple syrup as desired, and feel free to substitute cinnamon for vanilla for a more savory version.

Some love and some hate beets but we have never found someone to turn their nose up at this chocolate and beet cake. The beet not only adds a rich red color, it also provides just the right amount of moisture to keep a desirable cake texture.

This is a great “base recipe” that allows for the changing of the seasons. Risotto is a great way to highlight veggies with a perfect combination of hearty and fresh. Perfect this risotto and you will have 10 “new” dishes that your people will love.
