Telling food stories, one kitchen at a time
This is one of those salads where it’s mostly the good stuff. You know what I mean. This salad is mostly toppings and then there’s some leafy things for good measure. But, ya know, the point of this salad isn’t the leafy stuff or else, instead of Golden Beet Couscous Salad, it would be called Leaf Salad with Beets and Radishes. Or something like that. You get my point.

Happy 2016 friends! This is going to be a GOOD year. I can feel it in my bones.
I didn’t make any New Year’s resolutions, but I did make one January 3rd resolution: Each morning, I’m going to write down 10 things I’m thankful for and three goals for the week. Nothing overwhelming — just simple things. Today I was thankful for faux fur and new friends and a goal this week is to be confident at work.

Oh hello, blog. It’s me, Danielle. I’m here for now… Just MOVING to Chicago in T minus 2 days.
And I have a lot to do in these next two days, one of them being to DETOX. Yes. How many Christmas parties and goodbye dinners and wine nights and holiday bar crawls and gift exchanges and annual get-togethers can a girl fit into four weeks?

First I’m going to tell you about the food. The excellent food. I love this recipe. But then… then I want to share an inspirational story about how I landed my exciting new freelance gig. So keep reading!
I had all these beets in my fridge last week and no good way to use them up. I love beets, but sometimes the cleaning and peeling and roasting and the messy pink liquid that stains your fingers and your countertops seems like a lot of trouble for a simple salad. And when I decide I’m hungry, I’m hungry RIGHT NOW. I don’t want to wait for the oven to preheat and then wait for the beets to slow roast.

I finished this dip off yesterday on top of a thick piece of pumpernickel. Happy Healthy Sunday. Uh huhh.
Keleigh at Where There’s a Meal has been such a great blog friend! She posted Beet Dip recipe two of two on her blog today. Click here for the recipe. To read what I have to say about Keleigh, click here. To read what Keleigh has to say about herself and her blog, click here.
Expect to see this lady’s name and face and blog again — I’ll be asking her to do a guest post for me soon too!
Check out my friend Keleigh’s blog, Where There’s a Meal, to get this recipe for Roasted Red Beet Hummus.
Keleigh is a wife and mother who writes that for most of her life, she hated almost all fruits and vegetables. (Whaaaat. –> veggie-lover talking here.) Her blog is about trying new foods (and lots of fruits & veggies) and it’s about making kid-friendly and picky-eater-friendly meals. If she is willing to eat beets, I feel like she has come a long way. It’s inspiring!
