Roasted Beets

I'm sure I've blogged about these before, but a good recipe bears repeating. This was my lunch today: fresh beets from the farmer's market, oven roasted and topped with a fresh herb vinnaigrette. Nikki talked me into sauteeing the greens as well. Mmmm, this was a good and hearty lunch. It's amazing how much better I feel eating foods like this. There is a definite tangible shift in my mood and energy when I go from eating wholesome, local, often organic fruits and vegetables to heavy, processed food, and vice versa. I don't profess to have mastered complete self-control yet, but when I do make the extra effort to eat the way I know I should, it pays off.
