Green BEAN Delivery Right to Your Door: You Can’t BEET It {promo code! and a recipe!}

The older I get, the more truth I see in the movie Groundhog Day. I wake up, I feed the children, I go to the grocery, I feed the children, I do some laundry, I feed the children…you get the idea. We are always eating, and as a result, I am always at the grocery store. I can buy a lot of things in bulk to minimize my trips, but fresh produce is something I can only buy so much of at a time. Which means every few days, I have to go to the store to buy apples and peaches and grapes.

Enter Green B.E.A.N Delivery.

We had our first delivery last week, and it was like having a treasure chest sitting at our front door when we got home on Tuesday. I immediately cut up the pineapple, and washed the grapes. I made a salad with the Bibb lettuce, and set the peppers aside for fajitas later this week.

Then I unpacked the beets. Beets are something I’ve never cooked before.

I wasn’t sure what to do with them, so I looked around online. It turns out, you can roast beets just as they are, wrapped in foil, just like potatoes. When they are done, the skins slide right off ,and you can eat them warm or cool. You can eat them as a side dish, or in a salad.

I ended up making this:

I used the lettuce from our bin, and two beets to make this amazing salad. I sliced the beets, added the lettuce, tossed a little balsamic vinegar and oil in, and then topped with walnuts and goat cheese.

Hooray for trying new vegetables!!
