Raosted Beets with Quinoa and Feta



So I did not go with the golden beets called for in this recipe. I didn't even look for them at the store because I thought the color from the regular beets would be fun in this dish for my kids and I love eating a rainbow.

There was a good mix of acidity, salty, and sweet going on in this recipe and nice textures too.  I added a bit more spinach (from our garden!) than called for and a touch more feta.  This was Neal's first attempt at beets in our marriage and he did not die!  He was less enthusiastic but enjoyed the dish.  The kids ate it up pretty well.  My mother was visiting and she really liked it.  We served it with a simple green salad from our garden.
