Week 6: Red Velvet Bites
Published by Emily,
Happy Valentine's Day!You'll never guess what I put in these moist red velvet bites... Beets! The best part is watching people's reactions when they find out there's a vegetable in these delicious little treats.
Just like the peanut butter cups last week, this nifty little recipe was forwarded to me from my sister-in-law's naturopath as well... So if anyone is looking for a doctor in Toronto who specializes in dessertology, I can totally hook you up with her contact information.
I feel like I'm beeting a dead horse (how fun was that pun!) everytime I go on about how delicious a dish was. I'm running out of synonyms
for 'amazing'. I guess we can just agree that I'm pretty freaking incredible, and move on to the recipe ;).
