Pepper
Italian spice (or steak spice)

5. Remove tin foil and season top (or brush with ketchup and brown sugar for an old school type of meatloaf) and bake for another 10 minutes or until and thermometer inserted in to centre reads above 190 degrees

　

　

Roasted Golden Beets

Beets were, until about 6 months ago, my absolute least favorite vegetable. But my mom roasted some and they were pretty good, and I made a big batch of roasted veggies at Christmas, and now I love them!

I like golden or candy cane beet when I can get them, they are a little sweeter (and don’t stain your hands) and the candy cane beets are gorgeous with red and white stripes inside.

6 large beets peeled and cut in to bite size pieces
2 tbs olive oil
1tsp maple syrup
Salt
Pepper

Pre heat oven to 400

1.Cut beets and toss with oil and seasonings
2. Roast uncover for 30 minutes or until tender and caramelized
