Roasted Beets with Goat Cheese is a wonderful appetizer or side dish! I have been known to wake up in the morning and eat pickled beets. Yes, I know I'm weird! My favorite being Pickled Beets and Eggs. Beets are high in many vitamins and minerals, and the juice from red beets has been actually shown to reduce high blood pressure. Beets help cleanse your liver, boost your sex drive (nature's Viagra), combat depression, relaxes the mind, contributes to a sense of well being and the list goes on.
