a new made up recipe!

I occasionally make up recipes. I like experiments (my mom used to make a lot of concoctions, too). I made a delicious dinner tonight.

ingredients:
- 1 beet, peeled and diced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 summer squash, sliced
- 1/2 onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 shallots, roughly chopped
- juice of one lime
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 2 pinches brown sugar
- splash of olive oil
- a capful of applecider vinegar
- a capful of balsamic vinegar

garnish:
- baby spinach
-blood orange
-avocado
- walnuts

combine the beet, zucchini, summer squash, onion, garlic, and shallots. Coat with oil, lime juice, olive oil, applecider and balsamic vinegar, add spices. Bake at 400 for 20 minutes, lower heat to 300 for 40 minutes.

Put a handful of baby spinach on a plate. Put beety mixture on the spinach. Garnish with a sliced avocado, sections of sliced blood orange, and a handful of walnuts

yuuuuum.
