To PRINT these recipes, copy/paste them into WORD PAD rather than WORD. For some reason surely someone else knows, WORD pastes the green background as well and you'll waste ink just printing recipes. The solution is to open Word Pad and copy/paste and print from there.

Thanks for the beet recipes, I recently bought some and have not a CLUE what to do with them. I'm 52 and have never knowingly eaten a beet. Isn't it nice that we never run out of new things?

Hi Judy,

Welcome to the wonderful world of beets! I have a feeling you'll enjoy them; they are sweet and mild. They combine well with carrots, and in fact you can mix carrot juice with beet juice for liver health.
My boyfriend thought he hated beets until he started eating them raw!
Yay for new things, heh? :)
