JJ, you can slice the beets very thin as DJ says but wrap them in foil with a little EVOO and some apple slices. Pop into oven. Let cook for about half an hour and open and serve. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

DJ Member Registered: 11/22/02 Posts: 1149 Loc: Ohio	EH I had a neighbor who was a food photographer for advertisements. Once you know the tricks, it makes in intriguing to look at t he photo, but you also know how fake the photos are! You've probably heard some of these, like using mashed potatoes for ice cream, and putting marbles in soup. In the US the FTC cracks down on this for TV commercials (well, they used to but I don't know any more) but no one regulates magazine photos. So...maybe those are rubber meats and potatoes? _________________________ http://dcvance.wordpress.com/

Cookie Member Registered: 06/02/06 Posts: 753 Loc: USA	Originally Posted By: Eagle Heart How many times have you bought a magazine purely because of the picture of food on the cover?!! Here's an interesting question...what foods are the most likely to entice you to buy the magazine? Most any kind of food will get my attention on a magazine, except fish....ick! Just like JJ, I like looking at cookbooks. I'll read them like novels. One of my favorite cooking mags is Taste of Home.

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	This post reminds me of how much I used to cook and bake. It's when I was a stay at home mom and had time. I read cookbooks and cut, copied and tried many. I also cooked bread from scratch, yeast and all. But I rarely do this any more because life is so full. Now I have to rack my brain to figure out what to make for dinner. URG! I especially like cooking in the spring and summer. Ross uses the grill and I do veggies and salads. I love that, but this time of year, I'm stuck. I think we had spinach salads with cut up chicken beasts three times last week. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	I'm still giggling over DJ's sister's comment. Cookie, I use to take Taste of Home and have a bunch of the annual cookbooks. Do you, or did you collect those, too? I have to admit that they have great recipes...I no longer take the mag, but will pick one up at the grocery store every once in a while. Anyone besides me use the CALLING ALL COOKS recipes books? I love those. _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

meredithbead The Divine Ms M Registered: 07/07/03 Posts: 4894 Loc: Orange County, California	I don't read cooking magazines or books, so covers won't make any difference. I like cooking in the winter or on cool days because it's too blasted hot in the summer to think about eating hot anything. Everything here is nutritious. _________________________ My handcrafted jewelry: limited edition designs more jewelry, plus bead supplies Poet and essayist

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	I don't have time to surf cooking sites any more. I ask friends for tried and true recipes. Got one last week for chicken and dumplings which I'll try on a night we're taking dinner to Dad. He's a meat and potatoes kinda guy. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com
