Check out my latest foodie column over on Patch.com.

It’s all about beets. My mother claims to love these earthy root vegetables. I have a different view on them–I got pretty sick from beets not-so-long-ago and I try to stay away from anything that has exited out of my nose for at least a year (this also happened with Indian food, but it has won me back, once again)

If you forgot to click the first link, here it is again. You can read about the different varieties of beets, their taste differences, and how to use beets in place of everyday ingredients. It’s interesting and makes me hungry.

Do you love beets? (*Note: You can’t say no if you’ve never tried them!)
