This soup is so pretty. I’ve definitely never had a carrot soup, but it sounds so healthy and good that I just may give it a try. If for no other reason than the pretty color!

Roasted fennel is fab! It really brings out the flavor and mellows it somewhat. I’d love to try your beet and goat cheese salad, Adrianne!

Paula… If you have really good fresh fennel, definitely eat it in a salad instead.

Aaron actually marinated then grilled some fennel when we had friends over for dinner a few weeks ago – it was EXCELLENT (and up to that point, I was NOT a fennel fan.) I wound up putting the leftovers in an omlette with some sausage for breakfast, and that was yummy!

Also, the trick with beets is roasting them in a hot oven with olive oil, salt and pepper, and a little sugar. Cut them into wedges, not chips. They’re really delicious and get all crispy. Next time you’re home, I’ll make you my roasted beet and goat cheese salad – I SWEAR you’ll fall in love!

Ha! I now know what to do with the fennel in my CSA box. Thank you!

I LOVE fennel. If you’re in the Bay Area in March, come join me at the all you can eat crab and fennel festival! http://rrvw.org/crab-fennel-fest/

I know where you’re coming from. I have ALWAYS had an aversion to beets… ever since I could remember. I recently had some in a salad. I didn’t love it, but I no longer hate it! Who knows, maybe next time, I’ll actually LIKE beets??? Give Fennel a chance!

But how could you not like sweet potatoes…. food of the gods, I tell ya! :p

I’ve always been in the non-fennel liking club, but I know I need to try it again, because maybe I will end up liking it. I always said that I didn’t like sweet potatoes, but then I made some, and now I can’t get enough of them!
