It was absolutely delicious and the weather was cold, perfect for Thanksgiving Day. We had plenty of seafood and turkey along with a variety of veggies like [continue reading...]
BBQ Pulled Squash Recipe
It’s no secret that my favorite restaurant is Butcher and Bee in Charleston, South Carolina. Located just north of the downtown historic city, Butcher and Bee used to post their daily menu on Facebook every morning. The menu was small but incredibly creative with lots of choices for carnivores, Vegetarians, and Vegans alike. A little something for everyone. I would squeeeee with delight whenever I saw the BBQ pulled squash on the menu. It is amazing. Pulled Squash versus Jackfruit There is [continue reading...]
Sweet Potato Black Bean Burger with BBQ Sauce

Read on for this delicious recipe and an idea for the leftovers. I remember when the Impossible Burger was only found in a handful of restaurants. You really had to [continue reading...]

Easy Kimchi Quesadilla – 5 ingredients
When I was a Flight Attendant at Delta Airlines, I had a long layover in Kalispell, Montana. A place I had never heard of prior to flying. On long layovers, our crew often went out to dinner, one of my favorite times when I got to experience to local fare. Our Captain took us to a place called Moose’s Saloon in the middle of town, and treated us to sauerkraut pizza. Yes, you read that right – Sauerkraut Pizza. To this day, I still love to order pizza with sauerkraut though not too many places [continue reading...]
Summer Salad with Apricot Vinaigrette
Edited: This recipe for Summer Salad with Apricot Vinaigrette was originally posted in June 2016 and updated in June 2019. Summertime and the weather is warm, I want refreshing lemonade and summer salads. Lite crisp salads with loads of flavor. And no heavy dressings. This is the time for airy vinaigrettes. During a recent trip to Trader Joes, I found a box of organic apricots, a fruit I don’t see in the stores very often and also a fruit I feel is very underrated. I was inspired to create a [continue reading...]
The Summer’s Best Sweet Corn Hummus Recipe
Sweet Corn Hummus. I mean, how could you possibly resist one of the tastiest vegetables of the summer season? Florida is just starting its summer season. It’s hot outside, the afternoons are bringing fierce thunderstorms, and the air conditioning has never felt better. We spend our days lounging by the pool (or sitting on the beach) and our evenings are spent in the backyard grilling up on the BBQ. As I bury my toes in the sand I think of all the veggies that make the summer season so [continue reading...]
Two Ingredient Mashed Cauliflower
Now that I am in school full time, plus a full time travel job, I just don’t have time to cook these fancy meals anymore. If you have been reading Beauty and the Beets for a while now, you may have even noticed it’s been quite some time since I have posted a recipe. I am really starting to par down and make very simple recipes – dishes like beans and rice, and veggies with pasta have become staples in my house as of late. I always welcome a recipe that is super easy, and for me- the less [continue reading...]
Brussels Sprouts, Bacon, and Parmesan
Brussels sprouts, bacon, and Parmesan. Three ingredients will have your family (yes, the kids too) eating their vegetables. So, ew, why Brussels Sprouts? * Brussels Sprouts are low in calories and high in nutrients. A 1/2 cup of cooked Brussels yields a mere 28 calories, 2 grams of both protein and fiber, 6 grams of carbs, over 100% of the daily recommended dose of vitamin K, 81% of the recommended vitamin C, and a healthy amount of vitamin A, potassium, and vitamin B6. Vitamin K [continue reading...]
Glazed Biscuit Doughnuts
I am not normally a person that likes sweet things for breakfast. Occasionally I may splurge on French Toast or Chocolate Chip pancakes but normally I’m more of a cold pizza for breakfast type of girl. Unfortunately for me, Mr. Beet is the complete opposite. He loves sweet pastries, French Toast and Belgian waffles first thing in the morning. The only exception for me would be a glazed Krispy Kreme doughnut. Especially if it’s warm. I may or may not have the ability to eat a half dozen [continue reading...]
