Golden Beets with Red Onion and Feta
Beets are abundant in the Farmer’s Markets right now, and these beautiful baby golden beets grabbed my eye. In the bunch was one white beet. I love golden beets for their sweetness and milder flavor than the purple variety. The white beet did not disappoint either with it’s nutty sweetness.

Pickled Beets and Eggs
This recipe and photo were shared with me by Karen Calanchini of Redding, California. Karen says that this is an old Portuguese recipe that her grandparents and mother used to make when fresh beets were in the garden. They took fresh beets from the garden and whatever amount they gathered they processed. There really is no actual recipe, as you use how many beets you have harvested.
Roasted Beet Bread Pudding
This was an interesting experiment with using roasted beets. I had an over-abundance of beets to use this year that I had roasted them in my oven. Now, what to do with all these roasted beets? When I came upon this recipe, I just had to try it and, of course I couldn’t just make the recipe as it was written, but had to experiment! My husband really likes it and I hope you will also.

Roasted Beets with Blue Cheese and Pecans
From the recipe files of chef Robert Hammond. Robert says, “I’ve had more people tell me that they don’t like beets. Well, that was until they taste roasted beets. Roasting beets give them a deep, sweet taste that can’t be accomplished in any other fashion. Serve these beets either as a side dish or a salad.”

Fall is a lovely time to be in the kitchen. At our local Farmer’s Market this weekend, I came home with a lovely bunch of red beets which had long, very fresh greens. It turned out very impressive, the beets were so sweet, caramelized, and absolutely delicious. The combination of the sauteed greens and roasted beets is a winner!

She enjoyed the flavors of the soup so much that she had to ask for Lena’s recipe. Brenda just recently uncovered the recipe tucked inside one of her cookbooks.
