    Happy September!

    I say this at the beginning of almost every month, but this time I really mean it! How can it already be September 1st?

    Even with the long break between graduation and the start of my dietetic internship (only 5 more days!), this summer flew by. I am so grateful to have had the time to get settled in Minneapolis, and can’t wait to get started with my internship. Stay tuned for lots of posts documenting my experiences and newfound dietetics knowledge.

    Aside from the new beginnings that September always brings, this month also gives us some of the BEST produce of the year. You might be thinking, “but what about July? October?!” Well of course those are 2 of my favorite months for locally grown goods, but September is just as good. We get a couple more weeks of heirloom tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and zucchini to make Ratatouille, and finish out the month with root vegetables, winter squashes, and best of all- apples.

    I created today’s recipe as a way to capture as many September flavors as I could. In just one frittata, you’ll find end-of-summer tomatoes, sweet peppers, and herbs, alongside earthy fall beets. Enjoy!

    September Harvest Frittata

    Start your morning with the delicious combination of summer and fall! The sweet taste of peppers and tomatoes complement the earthy beets.

      One of my favorite salads had pickled beets, served at our now closed cafeteria. Health Salad. Bet the roasted ones would update an old but delicious dish.

        Yum Pickled Beets are also delicious! Roasted beets can least for about 5 days in the fridge (in my experience) so they could be an easy thing to add to homemade salads 🙂 … Thanks for stopping by! – Lizzie

      That looks yummy! Once again, fabulous photos. I confess to having never roasted a beet, nor prepared beets in any way. You’ve inspired me. 🙂

      Love, Jenny
