This picture is for Doug because whenever I make Shepard's Pie I wish that he were here to enjoy it with us. He also likes beets as much as Nat and I do. This was a particular success; everything in our meal was from the farmer's market-- even the swiss cheese and grass fed ground beef. It was delicious. Feeding my family is a sublime pleasure. It's Spinach Quiche and green salad tonight. Come on over!

We had zuccanoes.
You've inspired me to make shepherd's pie tonight. We've got all these Elders serving in Houston who have crazy allergies. The one coming over tonight can't have chicken, wheat, garlic, most spices, etc. That rules out any pasta or chicken dishes. We aren't a big beef family, but your post hit me like a ton of bricks! However, since I only have 45 minutes to prepare it, the mashed potatoes will be store bought and the veggies will be frozen. Not nearly as satisfying as farmer's market goods, but we'll do our best. You've really saved me here. :)
Also, once I had beets in Italy and was amazed at how good they were and thought for sure I'd found a new love. I tried them once when I got back and they were terrible. Tell me, where does one get a good beet??

Farmers'market. Locally grown. Preferably organic.
Jen,
My mom is right. I think the other part to it is buying beets with their greens intact. The greens are really good to eat raw when they are young but they are tough by the time the beets are big enough to eat. You can boil them down and eat them. But, I think the beets are better with the greens even if the greens remain uneaten. Something about the whole plant being together makes them taste better. We had them again last night. YUM!
