When Mr. Beet travels, there’s one place he will eat at almost everyday – Chick fil A. And he’s a Vegetarian so he doesn't eat chicken. Did you know about the Chick fil A Vegetarian Wrap? It's a secret Chick fil A menu item nobody knows about. Mr. Beet fell into this secret menu item by accident. He asked for the Grilled Cool Wrap without the chicken, and the Chick fil A team member told him about this top secret menu item. Now it’s his go to meal. A Chick fil A Vegetarian wrap with [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 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 glazed Krispy [continue reading...]

Blue Box Cafe Lobster Grapefruit recipe copycat
In case you missed the last month of posts on Beauty and the Beets, I visited Blue Box Cafe (a.k.a. Breakfast at Tiffany’s) on the fourth floor of Tiffany’s flagship store on Fifth Avenue in New York City. And it was magnificent, although trying to land that reservation was difficult. Plus, since I only tend to be in New York City every four months or so, I don’t have easy access to the cafe. So I decided to recreate my experience at home. I had the Chilled Pea and Mint Soup and the Fifth Avenue [continue reading...]
Chilled Pea Soup with Mint and Smoked Chickpeas
I hate to admit that I entered college as a film major, and I had never seen the 1961 movie “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”. And now that I have seen the film, it’s definitely on my top 10 favorite list. Audrey Hepburn had a croissant standing outside the iconic jewel filled windows which is why the name of the film is Breakfast at Tiffany’s instead of Breakfast in Tiffany’s. However, in 2017, 56 years after the release of the movie, it became possible for anyone and everyone to eat breakfast in [continue reading...]
