Good morning friends!!! Happy official spring <3

can’t stop drinking blueberry lattes

It’s so nice seeing more & more abundant produce showing up at the farmers markets as the weather starts to warm.

I’m also getting more inclined to start organizing and cleaning everything….entering that phase…spring cleaning energy. Definitely feeling that boost of energy.

This is one of my favorite meal shortcuts because there’s a lil something for everyone. We got something pickled, something crunchy, something to elevate your every day latte & of course something sweet.

So let’s get intoooo itttt…..

On the Menu:

  • Pickled Beets

  • Sourdough Discard Crackers

  • Wild Blueberry Syrup

  • Brown Butter Date Cookies

Pickled Beets

Ingredients

  • 4 beets

  • 1:1 hot filtered water & white vinegar (or ACV)

    • can do less vinegar for less tangy

  • 1 tbsp salt

  • optional add ins: honey, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, bay leaf, peppercorns

Recipe

  1. Shave skin and chop into cubes

  2. Add beets to a steamer and lightly steam till they are a little bit softened 12-15 minutes

  3. Transfer beets to a jar

  4. Add in salt and any other add ins

  5. Submerge in half hot filtered water (I use filtered water to steam and use that same water to not waste any), half vinegar until submerged

  6. Seal them and let cool to room temp on the counter top before storing in the fridge!

  7. Serve as is, or on salads, bowls, toasts, SO YUM

Storing/Subs/Notes

  • Use any vinegar you like! I prefer white or apple cider vinegar — they will be more tangy with the apple cider

  • Keep in the fridge sealed properly and they should stay good for a couple of weeks
