Winter eating

My favorite local food still available is yellow beets. I love beets but must admit I never liked peeling cooked red beets. So much easier with the yellow variety. I roast them in a pan with chicken or on there own. I also wrap them in foil and roast them when something else is in the oven. Then I have cooked beets for a salad. Pickled beets may have been part of our childhood family food, but now we have a new tartness in the goat cheese and beet salads we're eating everywhere.
