Right after Short Round was born, my Aunt Rondia bought me the magazine pictured above. I flipped through it time and time again, but it was not till recently that I made my first recipe from it.
A couple of weeks ago in Bountiful Baskets, I got some beets. I have to admit, that I had never eaten a beet before in my life. However, that is one of the fun things about Bountiful Baskets, you get to be creative. It can sometimes be a challenge. So, I was determined to make sure those beets did not go bad. While doing a flip through of the magazine above, a found a recipe for beet and kale pizza. I know, I know, it sounds a little funky, but we decided to give it a try.
I made the crust from scratch in my bread machine (so much better and cheaper than store bought), and we set to work. I made a pretty large batch of dough, so we made a pesto chicken pizza as well. I have to say that the pizza turned out great! Mom and Steve were there to share in the experiment with us, and we were all super surprised at how good the beet and kale pizza turned out.
I was also surprised at how much I like beets. They had to be roasted before going on the pizza, and they were so good, that I had a hard time not eating them all before I could put them on the pizza. They will be something that is planted in my garden next year for sure! Yum!
