I know that beets are one of those love them or hate them type of vegetable, what camp do you fall in? I usually LOVE them. I especially loved them when I was pregnant with Adelaide; literally I couldn’t get enough of them and ate them plain, in smoothies, salads and pizzas. And hopefully this isn’t TMI, (if it is consider yourself forewarned)

Foods by Color: Lemon Recipes
January 23, 2014 by Leave a Comment
I love lemons, don’t you? When I was younger I used to enjoy cutting a lemon in half, sprinkling with a little sugar and eating it with a spoon. My dad would get upset with me whenever he caught me indulging in this because it was “bad for my teeth.” My grandparents had an awesome lemon tree in their front yard that my older brother Kevin was infamous for picking from and chucking the lemons down the street (they lived on the top of a steep hill so those lemons gained speed!). I guess what I’m saying is lemons have sentimental meaning to me, and as a bonus, they are pretty nutritious.

This past weekend Rick and I celebrated our six year anniversary by spending the weekend at a bed and breakfast in Capitola while our amazing neighbors played with our kids. We had the best time relaxing, surfing (for Rick) and eating delicious food.

Turkey, Spinach Cranberry Cream Cheese Pitas

Our gym had a Christmas party last month that included catered meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I wasn’t aware of this perk until my yoga instructor mentioned it after our 11:00 am class, but when I heard about the free food I was obviously all in. As much as I love to cook, I equally love a break; I missed the breakfast but enjoyed the lunch and brought my husband and kids back for dinner too. Among other things, the caterers offered these delicious turkey, spinach and cranberry cream cheese pitas at lunch and I think I ate about ten because they were that good. I have been craving them ever since and have created my own copycat recipe.
