These beautiful jars of onions would make a great Mother's Day gift!

One of my fellow food bloggers contacted me a few months ago and asked if I could share "baby steps" to cooking real food since I'm a middle of the road blogger; she said she doesn't even know how to relate to people who aren't on the far end of the real food spectrum. I wasn't entirely sure whether to take that as a compliment or not.

I have some disappointing news; I'm actually up a few pounds this week. I had fast food a couple of times. I didn't exercise. I've been stressed. But I have taken steps to get back on track.

I was tempted to make scallops with white wine, capers, and tomatoes the other day; but I decided instead to figure out something to make with the beets sitting in my garage. I was pleasantly surprised to discover this recipe from Good Housekeeping.
Things I Love Thursday is your chance to see what I've been reviewing.
