I love cooked tomatoes. Tomatoes on their own, in a raw state, are delicious on salads and in sandwiches, but tomatoes, when cooked properly, are on another level entirely. I made very simple steamed potatoes, carrots and asparagus, adding some slow roasted tomatoes and suddenly my meal was elevated to this sophistication you can only …
Anyone who knows me can attest to my love for Brussels sprouts. I think Mr. Beet and I make them at least two or three times a week. Now that we invested in a food steamer we are eating sprouts sometimes four times a week. They are so versatile. Roasted, steamed and sautéed. About a …
