Beet Feast

Last night, Krista and I had dinner with our future roommate Karen and we had quite the feast! We made Beet Risotto with Rapini (we substituted veggie stock and omitted the cheese), Roasted Yellow Beet Salad with Warm Maple Mustard Dressing (you'll see in the pics that we didn't have yellow beets...) and Karen made a spicy Mexican soup with white beans (sorry recipe not available for this one). And it was washed down with beer and a refreshing melon and white wine cocktail. Again I don't have the recipe for this drink, but it was included with Karen's weekly fruit and veggie delivery from the Ottawa Good Food Box. Karen just started receiving the deliveries a couple weeks ago and we've been really inspired to create recipes based on the food they send us and so far the results have been pretty good! Anyways, here are some pics from our meal last night. By the way, sorry that I'm too lazy to add them in chronological order...
