First of all, my thanks to Whitney for the beet recipe she suggested. I haven't tried it yet, but I definitely will. The lovely dish of beets seen in the picture is an appetizer I shared with a good friend at Lolita, an awesome restaurant in Cleveland owned by Iron Chef himself Michael Symon. http://www.lolabistro.com/ And yes, we are total nerds for taking pictures of our food, but I don't care. The guys behind us were taking pics of their steaks, so there.
This dish was sooo good - honey, beets, mint, orange zest, ricotta cheese and almonds. I was so inspired, I tried to replicate at home with my CSA beets. Yeah, that didn't go so good but if you can cook beets correctly (I obviously can't) then I would recommend this dish.
Last week was all you can pick tomatoes and my neighbor/co-share owner went all out. I made tomato sauce from scratch this weekend and it turned out great!! Used a bit for a zucchini and eggplant lasagna we made tonight. Cooking Light comes through again!

The lasagna sounds amazing. Any pictures or the recipe to share?
Our tomatoes are still green, but it looks like we are going to have a bumper crop this year.
