Have you tried the beets yet?

We cooked some of the beets in our steamer last week and let me tell you.. they were really delicious! Of course I smother them with butter after steaming them and also salt and pepper. The flavor was so good. We have some different kinds of beets growing in the garden. Most are the dark red  beets but some of them are golden beets. They have a very mild and yummy flavor. I would encourage everyone to try them. Its fun to try new things.
I found a recipe for beets that looked really good. I will post it . Please add any recipes that you have. Lets share our skills!
