Sliced Beets/ Red & Golden
Source:  EarthyVeg


Beets are washed, then wrapped in foil
Baked at 400 until tender about 45-60 mins 
After you cooling, wash and peel
Slice the beets and serve.

Red Beets are great but I tend to buy yellow because they are less messy.

Great served as a side or in a salad.

Continental Avenue Bridge  (Old)

The above Hunt Hill Bridge replaced this bridge and is closed to traffic. It has yet to be torn down. It has carried traffic over the Trinity River for 83 years. The bridge will re-open next summer for foot and bicycle traffic only. A park will be created with places for the children to play.

Nondairy milk
Lemon juice
Pure pumpkin in a can
Brown sugar
Maple syrup
Vanilla extract
Pumpkin pie spice
Whole-wheat flour
Baking soda
Baking powder

Put together milk and lemon juice and set aside.
Mix dry ingredients together
Pour wet mixture into dry mixture until combined.
Pour into loaf pan and cook. 
This is excellent warm with cookie butter from Trader Joe’s. We like to buy Lotus Biscoff  spread (creamy).
The Lotus Biscoff cookies are really good. We had them for the first time on the airplane going to Portland for Vida Vegan Con.
