Beetroot be Gone

These days our pantry is looking a lot less like we are preparing for a Cold War style invasion and more like we are ready to move. Although our exchange date has moved back a week, we are getting there and eventually will be leaving the beach for the river. We will also be not moving various odds and ends of cans.

Last weekend I was very pleased to get rid of one (there are still two more) cans of beetroot. I was given some great ideas, but was trying to please the under two contigent and surprisingly I have managed to find a way to get them to eat beetroot and enjoy it.

In a very old copy of Real Living magazine, (it may not have even been dated from the previous millennium) I found a reciepe for Healty Ice Treats and I ran with it.

2 large frozen banana

1 punnet of frozen strawberries

1 tin of beetroots (no juice)
1 tin of coconut milk

Blend and freeze!

They were pretty good and the kids loved them.

This week I am trying to use up some canned corn. Any ideas please- other wise it may be a side dish no one wants.
