Just so you know, Leah, I've recovered from my summer camp trauma and absolutely love beets. They are great tossed with olive oil and and salt and roasted in the oven. Eat as a side dish or cool and throw in salad. Boiling beets? Save the water to use as vegetable dye for kids' fabric crafts or use water in bread recipes for a blushing loaf. Beets = FUN!!! Ball canning jars are great and can go in the freezer. They are a reusable alternative to plastic bags plus glass means no leaching of yucky chemicals into food. Threw out the beets!?!!

Anything by Moosewood is a good bet. Simple Suppers is one of my favorites. Full Moon Feasts by Jessica Prentice is another favorite. It's not a cook book, but it's about seasonal eating and has quite a few recipes. The Rosh Hodesh Table falls into the same category as "Full Moon Feasts", but it is specifically from a Jewish Perspective. Hmmm….. Anything by Moosewood is a good bet.

Doesn't matter how long you keep it fresh if you just don't know what to do with it! I’d add a bunch of seasonal cookbooks or bookmarks to websites with season recipes to that list, too!
