Don't you just love to shake some people up a bit!
Passed on my " new" cooking discovery to a few friends too...
Had the leftover portion of my beet greens & pasta yesterday for lunch. Added two slices of the beets from whence the greens came along with some grated Parmesan cheese....ahh! Some of the beets will make beet soup with homemade drop noodles(Polish heritage) others will become string bean, onion, beet salad with wine vinegar and oil..(Italian heritage)..
