The farmers market has been ripe with beets and strawberries. I love the rich colors of both the golden beets, and the deep red beets, but my kids are certainly NOT fans. Unable to resist these beauties, I found myself needing to figure out a way to use them that the kids would enjoy. (more…)
I admit, I had an entirely different post ready to publish this week. But when my friend Samantha from Good Life Organics posted a Beet Pancake recipe from Weelicious on my Facebook Page, I knew I had to change things up. Now, I already knew I liked to use beet “juice” as a food coloring, but Catherine McCord at Weelicious took it a step further – she pureed the entire beet and added it to recipes. I love this idea! The picture of her bright pink, beet pancakes instantly made me think “Valentines Day” so I used her idea of pureed beets, added them to my buttermilk pancake & waffle recipe, poured the batter onto the griddle in the shape of a heart and VOILA – Valentine Pancakes. I hope you and your special Valentine enjoy these on Tuesday and well…why not celebrate all year!
