my heart beets for you






















roses are red,
beets are too,
here is a heart-healthy valentine for you!


have a great week!

baked beet chips:
  1. preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. slice beet in half - then slice into thin circles (the thinner the slice, the crispier the chip!)
  3. in a bowl, mix together beets, salt & pepper to taste, & a tiny bit of olive oil (just enough to coat each chip lightly).
  4. lay chips flat on a nonstick baking sheet.
  5. bake in oven for 15-20 minutes; flip chips half way for optimum crispiness.
  6. allow to cool for a minute or two & then enjoy!
beet fact... did you know? beets are loaded with folic acid, iron, & calcium
folic acid is important for everyone for helping fight heart disease! for the ladies, important for a healthy pregnancy & fighting cervical cancer.
