Delicious Vegetarian Meal

2 large beets
aluminum foil
baking dish
Dijon Mustard
2-4 tbsp. butter, salted

Wrap beets in aluminum foil, cutting off green stems but leaving skin and root. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Bake beets for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, depending on size of beet.

Take beets from aluminum foil and peel off skin. Cut off root. Dice beet into small, cubed pieces. Throw in butter and tablespoons of Dijon Mustard to taste, while beet is still hot.

Eat. Yumm. It's delicious.

My Favorite Spaghetti Recipe

Ingredients
1 bottle of red wine (any kind, but not a rose)
garlic cloves (3-7)
chopped up onion
Olive oil
a bunch of over ripe tomatoes
* optional but good, basil-fresh off the plant
Also:
boiled spaghetti, according to package directions
Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions
pour some Olive oil into a saucepan (try to get a medium to wide pan) over high heat. Add tomatoes (if extra large ripe tomatoes, chop them up into chunky bites).
As the tomatoes start to pop, and get juicy, add onions and garlic.
Let it cook a little, turn down to medium high and add some wine.
Let it cook a little, add some basil.
After the tomatoes and onions and garlic have softened, add a little red wine. For about fifteen to twenty minutes, after you've put a lid on the saucepan, let the concoction simmer on low.
Put spaghetti in a bowl, and pour the sauce over it. Add parmesan cheese.
OOOoooh...um good!
