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)

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.
