Fresh Food Wednesday: Beets

July 30, 2014 by Jeanne

I was all set to blog about this amazing low calorie sandwich I came up with after watching Bar Rescue over the weekend when word came to me that a very close friend passed away last night. In your charity, please keep Denise in your prayers, and her family, too.  Denise and I were friends for over 30 years, and although distance separated us, we never really lost touch. She will be missed by her family, her friends, and the many 5th graders she taught who loved her like a second mother.
Okay, so I can’t really blog today…the computer screen gets furry when my glasses get fogged up by tears…so I am sharing a link to a wonderful resource: Mennonite Girls Can Cook.  These ladies post the mot amazing recipes, and today they focus on my favorite garden vegetable, beets.
So, for all of you hankering for some new beet recipes, please visit Mennonite Girls Can Cook. 
And I promise to share that sandwich recipe another time. Because oh my, it really was good. And low calorie. And good. Did I mention – good?
Another time, friends –

    So sorry to hear about your friend. We had similar news recently. Not such a close friend but a very good one for a few years. Luckily we got to see him last Sept.

Growing strawberry plants is one of my favorite gardening adventures. Once they get growing, strawberry plants produce abundant strawberry fruit.

Propagating Peach Trees from Softwood Cuttings

We decided that propagating peach trees from softwood cuttings was the way to go when we couldn’t find the variety we wanted at the store this past week.
