Mary’s Beets and Bacon, Baby!!
From the menu at the Paleo BBQ 10/22/11
adapted from Sarah Fragoso’s Everyday Paleo, Pg. 124
Gives new meaning to B&B!
Ingredients:
- 3-4 Beets, I used Red… but I think Yellow would be Beeter (haha!!)
- 4 slices of Bacon, cooked and cubed
- ½ Red Onion, diced
- Pepper
Directions:
- I doubled the recipe and boiled the beets with the lid on for 45 min (until you can pierce through with a fork).
- Chop the stems from the beet and toss, save the leaves – wash and chop, set aside.
- Cook bacon, set aside.
- Sauté Red Onion in Bacon Juice ( I think it’s called Bacon Fat, but that sounds disgusting!!) for 3 min.
- Add chopped Beat Leaves and sauté for 4 min.
- Peel beets and chop – add to bowl with chopped bacon and the Red Onion, Beat Leaf, Bacon Juice yumminess …. And pepper and Whala!! You have one kick-a** beet salad!!
A snapshot of greatness in the making

This looks delicious! I was bummed that I had to miss the BBQ! What other delicious creations did I miss?
Lara (I think that’s who posted ^ the box covers up your name, so all I see is “a”) — It was great food and good times ….. and a little wine :) Hopefully you can make it to the next one!!
I made meatballs in a crockpot today – knowing we were doing a night time crossfit — nice to come home to a hot cooked meal, it’s like I have a mom at home or something!! Maybe I should nickname my crockpot “Mom” :)
Those meatballs were fantastic, especially after a weekend of totally off the wagon eating (hunting trip), I have to say I really missed the Paleo meals – glad to back under the care of my own personal chef Mary – that make’s the transition easy :)
