Hey everyone, how goes your weekend so far?
The reason I got into organize mode recently to find space in the kitchen for some new prop items that I want to get. You guys, I‘ve become a very un-materialistic type of person over the last few years. I’m sure some of you can relate here. I mean, if you’ve ever made multiple moves in a row then you probably know that it’s so much easier if you aren’t attached to items and stuff that is hard to move and will potentially just get lost. Yep, I’m hardly attached to anything anymore and I think I’m happier because of it.
On the other side of the spectrum though, I have discovered how much less stressful and more fun it is to take food pictures when you have some pretty items to work with. It’s amazing the difference that a single item in the background can make for the overall mood of a picture. That means that I have a growing collection of useless knick-knacks and a strange relationship to them because I love them but I don’t want to love them too much. It doesn’t really make sense but that’s the way it is.
Anyway, I know, two beet recipes in the same week might seem like too much for some people. I hope that you don’t feel that way because this soup deserves a chance. I know it’s very, very red and probably won’t be overly tempting to the picky eaters in your ranks but if they can get passed that I think they’d love it.
This recipe is a spin on two of my sisters’ favorite Ukrainian recipe, borsht. I made it with gnocchi to change it up a little. Ironically, it was my other two sisters that ended up loving it that way. My sisters are purists when it comes to food so they prefer it the way I usually make it, but some other sisters (I have 4) are both really big fans of carbs so they were all over the fact that I added fat little dumplings to a veggie soup.
I pretty much just described my everyday challenge of making things to please everyone right there. I wouldn’t change it though. Actually, it would probably get boring if the little ones stopped complaining everyday and the boys decided they liked veggies. I’m not saying it wouldn’t be nice, but it would be weird.
I think that’s where I’ll stop because today I'm going on a nice bike ride that I want to share with you all in photos after, so stya tuned! Okay, see you soon and if you are looking for a great way to use beets then you found it!
As always, the recipe is available upon request. The first request gets an upvote.
ALL CONTENT IS MINE AND ORIGINAL! All of these food photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 and my favorite Lens, the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G. You can find out more in my INTRO POST. And by the way, my intro post did a huge $0.21

You are wrong.
Borscht is not a Russian food.
It's a dish of Ukrainian cuisine

Hi, did you know that grated beets placed in a chocolate cake recipe will make the cake stay moist longer? Beets are a cool weather crop. I like to grow them in my garden and eat raw straight from the earth. The root and greens are powerful antioxidant foods. I love your photos!

Fantastic info @carolynseymour. I've tried the grated beets before and cake, and you are right, it does help keep it moist. I do have a beet pancake post coming up in October, for Halloween, of course.

Borscht..I haven't had that in like 4 or 5 years. I've only had it once and loved it but I definitely must give this recipe a try. I am always looking to expand the breadth of what I can make and this looks divine. Those are good tips for pictures too. I always feel like my pictures I take of food fall so flat and maybe the fact of things in the background and whatnot are part of that..I may have to try again because I love to cook and would love to share some of my stuff. Thanks for sharing this though I will have to put in on my list of the other amazing things you make for me to make ^-^
