Must .... resist ... posting ....
LOL
Just testing FR.
Looks like it’s struggling back to it’s feet.
Does anyone know if roasted beets can be frozen?
Wow, looks great.
Wanted to add these great tips someone sent me, even if you do not have face book you can still watch it.
So many uses for freezer bags, such little time.

I know this is pie & beets week, but I ran across a bunch of Brussels Sprouts links ..... the first was a
Bacon and Brussels Sprouts with Bowtie Pasta
http://www.creative-culinary.com/bacon-brussels-sprouts-bowtie-pasta/
and after that recipe were the 12 other links. The one that REALLY caught my eye is for:
Brown Sugar Bacon Brussels Sprout Bites
http://heygrillhey.com/recipe/brown-sugar-bacon-brussels-sprout-bites/
This is basically Brussels Sprouts wrapped in a half slice of bacon & secured with a toothpick/skewer, dipped in a sweet rub & brown sugar & grilled. I can barely stand to look at the pictures they look so good!
The sweet rub recipe link is given in the recipe:
The BEST Sweet Rub for Grilled Pork and Chicken

I was looking at the ingredients for the Crack Pie & it called for “corn powder”. I thought maybe they meant corn meal, but that’s not it. Here is their FAQ page & if you scroll down briefly to “where do I get ....” they mention ‘corn powder’.

Evidently they sell it: https://milkbar.goldbely.com/categories/mixes
or you can follow the link in the FAQ, buy your own freeze dried corn & grind it yourself.
yummmmm, i LOVE beets!
That’s why I planted rows and rows of them. And just harvested about 20-30 of the darlings.
Your salad recipe was very timely, thanks!
I’ve heard about this pie & it does look amazing. Too much work for me though.
I have been enjoying freeform type pies, with the addition of fresh herbs and our local white peaches.

We are growing some lovely looking beets. I bookmarked these recipes so I can try some out.

Was out of town, just found the thread today. I am saving the crack pie recipe. I can’t quite imagine how it tastes but my family will probably love it!
Easy Spanish Rice
Takes less than 30 minutes. You will need -
3/4 to a pound of ground beef. We have been buying the Costco ground beef and really like it. Lowfat and ground really fine.
1 package Knorr Spanish Rice (got it for a buck at the dollar store)
2 1/2 cups water (or the half cup can be tomato juice)
I can whole black beans, drained and rinsed
2-3 ancho peppers, no seeds, chopped fine
1 medium vidalia onion chopped fine
2 small or 1 medium tomato chopped
about 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2-3 tablespoons pickled jalapeno juice
3-4 slices of the jalapeno chopped fine no seeds
Large skillet, start browning ground beef. Prepare by chopping the onion, cilantro, tomato. You can put them together they are added at the end
Chop the poblano peppers and the jalapenos.
When the ground beef is browned tip the skillet and spoon out most of the fat. Add the water and the Knorr mix and the chopped poblanos and jalapenos and the juice. Stir. Cook uncovered on medium 7 minutes. Add the beans, stir once and cook 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, onions, and cilantro, turn off the heat, Stir and serve. The cilantro and onions and tomatoes uncooked give it a fresh taste. Eat the same day if you can. Skillet should serve 3 or 4 people. Leftover, the rice seems overcooked and all the liquid is absorbed.
Does anyone have any good uses for coriander seed? I have lots of cilantro this year and some of it is flowering. I can let it go but have not used the seed much unless anyone has a yummy purpose. Thanks.
