Good evening everyone! This will probably be my last recipe of 2013. Wow…can’t even believe that tomorrow is NYE. I may, or may not, post a 2013 round up. We’ll see how ambitious I feel tomorrow.

So, for now a, offering this festive roasted winter vegetable dish. I’ve really been enjoying my new local produce delivery service & last week’s haul contained a colorful medley turnips, kale, winter squash, fennel, beets, baby garden carrots & purple cauliflower. Knowing that the holidays were near & I would likely be out of town for a few days I needed to prepare a dish that could incorporate all of these glorious veggies. Nothing says winter comfort more roasted & caramelized vegetables served over warm hearty grains.

I love the way the red beets coat the grains giving them a “jeweled” holiday flare. Enjoy!
