Let there be beets!

I love beets! My children are not such fans; however, I can’t stop thinking of all of the ways beets make my life better.

Roasted beets are my favorite. First I cut off the stems and wash the beets thoroughly. Then I cut the beets into smaller pieces; wrap the pieces in tinfoil with a little salt and pepper and olive oil.

Juiced beets. My favorite combination of fruits and vegetables in my juicer is hands down carrots, apples and beets.

Beets as cosmetics. When I juice beets in the morning, sometimes I will separate and put aside a small amount of juice. I then use the juice for a lip and cheek stain. Make sure your face is clean and any skin care products have been given time to be absorbed. I then dip my finger or a cotton ball into the beet juice and apply to my cheeks. If the saturation seems unbalanced apply another layer. I use the same technique to apply beet juice to my lips. Using beets as a cheek and lip stain helps mimic the skins natural blush.

Why do you love beets? Even it is just for eating, I would love to hear about your favorite recipe.
