It's officially Spring, which has turned into my favorite time of year here in Texas. The weather is just right and there is only a small window of time before the heat takes over and I turn into a pool of water. We have been enjoying as much outside time as we can get while the temperature is perfect! Things like strawberry picking, letting Parks play in the sprinkler, and eating crawfish with friends makes for a pretty happy lady (aka me) let me tell you. Along with the desire to be outside more, comes a strong need for color on my plate! There is something about the weather shift that makes me crave fresh foods with lots and lots of color. My roasted beet salad with tahini white beans is one of those salads that is not only delicious and super healthy, but it is also really gorgeous too!
Um...so we started watching House of Cards last weekend and found ourselves glued to the couch for about seventy-five percent of the past three days. Addictive is an understatement, and I am both sad and glad that we finished season three yesterday after a week and a half of watching! I'm glad because now I can get on with normal life without obsessing about what Frank and Claire Underwood will be up to next. If you haven't watched it yet, you should...but just know that nothing productive will happen until you finish all three seasons. Luckily I made my honey and beet frozen yogurt ahead of time, saving me from eating an unhealthier sweet treat while we watched the drama unfold.
Yep, you heard correctly...that's beet frozen yogurt. Don't think I'm crazy. If you are a beet fan, you are going to love turning them into something sweet! When beets are roasted they get caramelized and their natural sweetness shines through making them the perfect candidate to be turned into a unique frozen treat.
