Temptation Tuesday #1 - 2025 Beautiful Granny Beet Appetizer Recipe

 


Granny Beet Appetizer

Ingredients:

granny smith apple - cored and sliced (I prefer not peeled)

beets (shown is canned pickled but I've used fresh as well as canned non-pickled; this is personal preference at it's finest)

feta cheese

honey

dried cranberries

spinach (fresh)

pistachios (shelled)


None of the ingredients are measured - because it honestly depends what you like the most of and how many people you are serving and what your ratio preference is.


Instructions:

Start with a fancy tray and cover the tray with fresh spinach leaves

at the center of the tray place your crumbled feta cheese surrounded or intermingled with the cranberries

organize the apple sliced as desired (if you're preparing ahead, you'll want to stop the apples from browning by using some sugar water with a splash of lemon juice)

sprinkle on the pistachios then drizzle honey across the top


This is something you can serve with crackers, fresh bread, or just by itself. I'm not a fan of too many carbs so as you can see in the photograph I just put the plate out and we ate it like a deconstructed salad.


Enjoy! Feel free to share your photos if you try this at home! Which way do you like your beets?


May your paths be abundantly filled with lemons, sugar, sunshine, and great looking recipes you can whip up fast for those unexpected occasions!

You Can Speak Your Mind, But Not On My Time?

Today's post title is inspired by the fabulous song that is likely going through your head right now "I still belong, don't get me wrong, you can speak your mind but not on my time...you can live your life, but this is my life..."etc... The topic however is inspired by a dear friend who recently said to me "why is it so hard for people to be real and have a conversation about things they disagree with?" I've been thinking about that queestion and the conversation that it inspired - what she was really talking about is feedback. Why is it so difficult to tell someone that you'd like them to do something differently? We beat around the bush, and sometimes never say what's on our mind. Isn't this really the rooot cause of relationship problems? The cause of dating mis-haps, family arguements, and the underlying issue that often results in anger and fighting? Before you answer, let me toss out some scenarios: 1) You're dating someone ...

Natural Remedies for Depression ?

Have you had those moments when you weren't feeling quite like yourself? Those negative thoughts were creeping in? clouding your judgment? making every day chores seem like amazing feats of heroism? If you've never felt like that - good for you! I on the other hand struggle with life's ups and downs. From depression during my divorce to post-partum depression, etc... I tend to be a very happy and optimistic person, but the flip side of that coin brings those days when staying in bed is more alluring than hopping in the shower and going through the motions of the day. There are some fabulous medications on the market today, and seeking the help of a healthcare professional is always a great idea. Sometimes I'm not feeling depressed, but I fear I'm headed there. I don't particularly care for some of the side effects of medications I have been on in the past, and a natural remedy can sometimes give me just the kick in the pants that I need to 'get happy...
