Is it obvious that we started getting a CSA share again? I asked Pinterest what to do with beets, and it led me here . I need to work on my beet-roasting technique. I quartered it and roasted it at 400 for 40 minutes, but then when I cut it up, it was too tough. So I tossed the small beet cubes in olive oil and salt and roasted them for another 15 minutes, and THEN it was perfect. My substitutions from the original recipe were based solely upon what I had: -kale instead of beet tops -parmesan instead of pecorino or goat cheese (but goat cheese sounds amazing) -parsley instead of basil (but I look forward to the return of basil season) Also, I used a fancy-pants combination of regular kosher salt and maldon salt. Maldon salt is the essential final touch.

I cook often. Most of my creations are vegetarian or seafood-based. Most don't require measuring or any other degree of patience, because I don't have any. Most are fairly low in calories. Many have some kind of international flair. Here are the highlights.
