I just came across your pancake recipe. I am going to give it a go tomorrow. We LOVE beets…in certain recipes. My daughter goes nuts for them in her “pink” hummus. It is also a pretty great recipe to try if you are unsure of your love for them! I am excited to try them like this though. If all goes well I would love to post a link to your blog 🙂

If you’re still nervous about beets, try this – my fave beet recipe and a staple side dish in Russia. Bonus – it’s vinegar-based, so it can stay in your fridge for weeks. Pull it out any time you need a side for a meal.

Vinegret (spelled that way on purpose)

2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
3 – 4 medium carrots, peeled and diced
2 – 3 medium beets, peeled and diced (or a can of sliced beets, diced)
a can of petite peas (I know, I hate canned peas, too. Trust.)
2 – 4 dill pickle spears, diced
1 small white onion, diced
1/8 c white vinegar
1/8 c cold water
dill weed to taste
salt and pepper to taste

–Boil the diced carrots and potatoes together just until fork-tender. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking process.
–Boil the diced beets (unless using canned) just until fork tender. Rinse repeatedly w/ cold water (they will turn your salad pink/purple no matter what, but this helps somewhat).

Put the white onion in a large bowl first. Add the other veggies, adding the pickles last. Mix the water, vinegar and dill weed and pour over the veggie mixture. Mix well. Add S&P to taste. MUCH better than the sum of its parts!!!
