I can’t really say that I love beets, but we get them in our CSA about every other week so I am learning to embrace them.  I was able to find lots of beet recipes this week that I would like to try with our next batch of beets.  One recipe I did make a few weeks ago that I loved was beet chips (recipe below.)  I received a food processor as a wedding gift and never took out all the attachments to see what they did.  Turns out, it has an awesome mandoline attachment that thinly slices things up in less than a second.  Did I mention it is our five year wedding anniversary this week?  I could have used this so many times over the last five years!  Lesson learned- always read your small appliance manuals so you learn about all the extra functionality they might have.
