Beet Chips

    Okay, it's time to reveal a truth about myself. I have always prided myself in being a lover of almost any healthy food. However, there is one vegetable that has been an exception: Beets. I have always crinkled my nose in the presence of others scooping those bloody looking pickled vegetables onto their plates. Having never been interested in the pickled version, I never explored other recipes for them.
    Last week, as you know I was doing a lot of juicing and one of the juices I made required beets. I have to be honest I wasn't a huge fan of the taste because all I could picture in my head was the nasty pickled thing, so I only drank it once. So, I had two beets left and didn't want them to go to waste so I started researching beet recipes. I ended up coming across Martha Stewart's recipe for Beet Chips. I just finished baking them and to my delight, they are delicious!
    Forgive my moment of morbidness, but I felt like a baker gone mad in a rat lab testing facility. Terribly confused? I'm pretty sure this picture says it all:
Tell me this doesn't look like bloody rat tails to you?

    Well now, after that I'm sure you are dying to eat some beet chips, right? Haha...
