I grew up in the northeastern region of the United States, where the summers were hot and the winters were cold and snowy. And other than a piping hot bowl of soup, nothing was more comforting on a freezing winters night than a giant cup of hot cocoa. I loved hot chocolate so much that …
You cannot take me into a Michael’s or JoAnn’s craft shops without me hitting the baking aisle. Not that I am a baker. Far from it. Baking is so precise, while I prefer the more abstract freedom of cooking things like vegetables. However, I cannot go into one of these craft stores without scooping up …
I sit here in front of the TV, my eyes glued to CBS as I wait to see when and where my team will be playing for the NCAA Basketball Tournament. OK, I was not glued to my TV, and it isn’t my team – it’s Mr. Beet’s team. Go Purdue Boilermakers!! Basketball is a …
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day! Anybody have any fun and exciting plans? Mr. Beet and I have none, other than a class at church, and then I am sure we will probably go somewhere for dinner. And by somewhere, I mean a place like McAlister’s Deli or Chipotle, somewhere that doesn’t require reservations on such a …
It’s almost Valentine’s Day!!! I ditched the kale and Brussels sprouts this weekend and started playing around with some ideas for Valentine’s Day. What’s more Valentine’s Day appropriate than pink food? Try these super easy-to-make 4-ingredient Strawberry Cereal Chocolate Truffles.

If there is one treat that screams summer, it would be something frozen – ice cream, frozen yogurt, sorbet…….but what about whip? What exactly is whip? Well, it is similar to ice cream, except that it isn’t churned to incorporate air. It isn’t frozen yogurt, because well, it doesn’t contain yogurt. And it certainly isn’t …
Summer – flip flops, swimming pools, lemonade and frozen yogurt. Can I just get a round of applause for frozen yogurt? Ever since my Mom gifted me with an ice cream maker I have been churning all sorts of flavors out. And while Mr. Beet and I love the more traditional flavors like chocolate and …
Pictured above are Celery Cake Cookies, but before I get to those…….I have been dreaming about these Dandy® Celery Spice Cakes (pictured below) I had a few months back while attending the Food Wine Conference here in Orlando. Oh my, who knew that celery could be so delicious? Not only were the spiced cakes made …
Happy Monday! Today I am making Chocolate Avocado Pudding. It’s rich, creamy and Vegan. I love anything that can be chocolate-y and still involve vegetables, although technically an avocado is a fruit. So, that means that technically this is a fruit pudding. However, in my head, an avocado is not sweet like a berry or …
