This week there was a bunch of cool, new, and different veggies.

This was the first time Ive ever seen Jerusalem Artichokes and they are awesome! They are kind of like half potato half artichoke. I just cut them into slices and roasted them with olive oil, salt, and pepper until they are a little soft but still crunchy

The Golden Beets are also a favorite of mine. Unlike the red beets, the golden beets are not as filled with juice so you can handle them without beet juice getting everywhere. Theyre delicious. I boiled mine, but roasting them is also a great option.

The Adirondack Blue Potatoes are also great. Purple vegetables are packed with nutrients and can only usually be found on farms or at farmers market, not supermarkets. Here is a link by the Denver Post about purple veggies. Purple Vegetables
