Dark Velvet Beet Cookies

September 26, 2010

These are sort of a take on Red Velvet, only richer, darker, and made with fresh beets — not food coloring! I think we all would love to avoid red food coloring in our food!

Beets are absolutely delicious, and they happen to be incredibly good for you. While these cookies taste more like chocolate than anything, I encourage you…

Valentina's passion is food, and she loves spending time in her "kitchen retreat," as she refers to that room in her house. Valentina develops recipes for creative and comforting food that works perfectly for casual entertaining. Both her recipes and food photography have been featured many times on popular food websites and in print. Valentina shares her beautiful photographs as well as new and interesting recipes almost daily on her blog, Cooking on the Weekends.

Outside the worlds of food and photography, Valentina's other passion is her family (including her two young boys, her husband and her puppy, Maple.)
