    Red Roots & Cider Soup
    In case you haven't heard, beets are the new black. Loaded with minerals and vitamins that help regulate metabolism, boost your immune system, and sustain energy longer, they're what you always wanted your multivitamin to be - plus, yummier. That's not to discount the other power players in this pretty soup: Carotene-rich carrots, fibrous parsnips, C-packed turnips, anti-viral shallots, and fresh ginger filled with essential oils that do all kinds of good stuff for internal organs (and this soup's rich flavor).

    Ingredients:
    3 beets
    4 turnips
    2 parsnips
    3 large carrots
    2 shallots
    1 tbsp fresh ginger
    ¾ cup apple cider vinegar
    8 cups water (or enough to fill your pot)

    Peel and slice shallots, separating the rings, then peel and chop ginger into thin, but bite-able slices.

      My after-school snack was a sacred ritual. I sat on the carpet in my parents' bedroom at a low table, the television turned to "I Dream of Jeannie," and ate a peanut butter and honey sandwich cut into neat squares. I wasn't fussy about crusts. I just loved the sticky pairing of creamy peanut butter with syrupy golden sweetness drizzled from a honey bear in diagonals across the soft white bread. Nothing else--save for maybe apples and peanut butter in a pinch--could have made for as sweet an
