Healthy Food Tip

These are some gold beets I saw at a grocery store the other day. Have you seen them before? The prices at this store tend to be on the high side.



Son K and I were at another grocery store on another other day and there was a lady dispensing smoked salmon samples.  She had crackers topped with hummus then a sliver of smoked salmon.  It was delicious.  She mentioned the hummus being a healthier alternative to cream cheese.  I will have to remember this.  I had also read that hummus is a good alternative to mayonnaise that you would spread on sandwiches.  It's certainly worth trying, don't you think?

Hummus is delicious, and something I eat a lot. The golden beets look good, not seen them before. Hugs, Valerie

Never heard of golden beets, but sure would be nice not to have the mess from the dark purple ones. I ate a lot of beets before my gall bladder surgery as they say they are great for eliminating gall bladder attacks. but when I would grate the beets, my kitchen looked like I had butchered a beef..HaHa..Will have to look for the golden ones.

Hummus really is good. I haven't eaten it much here in Hawaii, but my daughter always keeps the fridge stocked with it in Illinois. Our granddaughter loves it.

I am vegan and do not eat dairy so I eat a lot of hummus, I even put it on my baked potato!

I love hummus and smoked salmon. And salmon is a big favourite of mine. Whenever we go out to eat, I often order salmon, preferably grilled.

The beets are very pretty! I like hummus a lot, it's delicious. Usually I just skip the mayo, but hummus does sound like a yummy alternative.

I don't think I've ever seen beets like that. The downside of eating healthier is that it can get a little costlier. I'd say you get more bang for your buck though. For the price of one fast food meal you can buy enough raw ingredients for two or three meals.

I love humus too! With raw veggies, flax crackers, on wraps and sandwiches. It's chickpeas, very healthy for you! I'm vegan too!
