How many recipes for roasted vegetables can I tell you about before you stop reading this blog?
By the same token, how many pictures of Baby A on the counter in a bumbo seat can I show you before you lose interest?
Would it make a difference if there were just two different vegetables in this recipe?
Would it make a difference if I told you Adrienne doesn’t smile at the camera in these pictures, but just makes a really raspy yelling noise?
Would it make a difference if these roasted vegetables had a dressing that went with them?
Would it make a difference if I told you Adrienne doesn’t just sit and look cute, but likes to throw things across the kitchen these days? Like this hard plastic ball that looks like it has an angry bird in it?
Well, I hope you keep reading.
Because at the end of the day, all I really have to offer is a bowl of roasted vegetables and a ridiculously smiley baby…
Roasted Potatoes and Beets with Spicy Honey Mustard Dressing
- 3 small potatoes, cut into cubes
- 1 large beet, cut into wedges (or cubes…whatever)
- 2 T olive oil
- garlic powder
- lemon pepper
Toss everything together and roast at 425 for about an hour or until potatoes look crispy. (Tossing halfway through cooking)
- 2 T olive oil
- 2 T horseradish mustard
- 1 T honey
- 1 T water
- pinch of salt
Combine all of these ingredients in a blender or with a whisk. Pour on top of the roasted vegetables and enjoy! The more the beet juice drips down your face, the better.


I love beet juice dripping down my face! I wish I was kidding. This looks ah-may-zin’ and I’m all over it SOON. xo.
Make sure to wear a bib – that beet juice STAINS.
I will never get sick of veggies or your adorable daughter – roast on!
THAT’S AWESOME!! THAT’S ALL WE ASK FOR!! BLESS THAT DOLLBABY AND YOU!
Let me think… a trillion and one times. So.. I think we’re good. And seeing little Baby A w beet smeared across her face makes me think I almost like beets too.
Never too many roasted vegetable recipes OR pictures of baby A! I wish I loved beets as much as her though- too cute!
I love veggies and your baby is so gosh darn cute so ur stuck with me as a reader!! These veggies sound soo yum especially with the spicy honey mustard sauce
That’s a good thing to be stuck with.
Smiling baby + beet juice always = awesome
Haha, I love roasted veggies and your baby. Not going anywhere.
Thaaank youu!
A baby eating beets. What a combo!! And to answer your above questions…I won’t stop reading.
And I won’t stop loving you.
Let’s just say, the more you post roasted vegetables and smiling babies, the more I love your blog.
That makes me the happiest!
Wow- she has a more sophisticated palate than I do already! I can’t stand beets- but your baby makes my baby fever kick into high gear! I have a five year old son, and I am just about ready for baby #2. I am really hoping for a girl this time around
I am hoping for a little girl for you!! Glad I could kick start that fever…
ummm…katie, you’ll never get rid of me.
And I am so thankful for that!
Adrienne is adorable! There could never be too many pictures of her in her bumbo. I’m quite sure I have a similar picture of myself at a young age devouring beets!
Yes, another beet lover – I know they’re not the most loved food out there, but I can’t get enough of them.
roasted veggies = delicious
your daughter = very cute
so…I will probably never get sick of them. : )
Well thank you!
you can NEVER show too many photos of baby A…the potatoes are good too.
I have to tell you – I had a dream that we were together eating sausage. It was very bizarre – especially considering neither of us eat sausage in real life. Oh…and considering that we’re just internet friends.
that is freakin hilarious. dreams are so bizarre.
I woke up so confused! It was really out there…
If this meal is good enough for baby A then it is good enough for me!
Haha, I like that motto!
Never and never!
Well thank you, and thank you!
the bumbo + beets match! nice work!
I love roasted veggies!! Especially beets and potatoes. These recipes won’t make me stop reading your blog, ever
And Baby A is just so adorable. I don’t think anyone would get sick of you showing her off
I’m glad…because I’m not about to stop.
Two things I could never get sick of! I know that yelping noise well too.
Haha, isn’t the evolution of noises hilarious?!
It’s hard to get sick of roasted anything and smiley babies
Honey mustard….genius on roasted veg!
i think i can speak for everyone here when i say: we will NEVER get tired of Baby A on the counter in a bumbo seat pictures!!
You are so sweet – thank you!
Baby A is adorable and I will never ever get tired of seeing her cutie pie face. As for the veggies… I like them and you inspire me to eat more of them.
I don’t think we could ever get tired of Baby A pics!!
And the roasted veggies look delish!
Definitely the more pictures of baby A the more interested I’ll be…. she’s really enjoying the beets!
I think there’s a LOOOOONG way to go before I lose interest in Baby A pictures. Any and all of them.
I need to try beets, it’s the one thing I haven’t yet experimented with.
I love my veggies, but think baby A is quite the selling point
oh great idea, i love beets lately. and i happen to have some in my fridge that i need to use up, thank you for the idea!
btw, i never get tired of cute baby photos, keep them coming!
Well thank you – and enjoy the beets!
oh, stop it. I will never tire of baby a pictures.
AND. my favorite part of the angry bird toy picture is her kung fu grip on the ball. aahah, look at those white fingertips.
Yeah, she loves that thing. There was no way I was going to pry that out of her talons for a picture. No way.
I’ll keep reading, cuz looking at your smiley baby makes me smile.
Ok, that last picture is my favorite. Shes just too cute, you could NEVER post too many pictures of that face.
The beets and potatoes sound amazing. Especially with the dressing, horseradish mustard is amazing!
i will never ever tire of looking at your beautiful baby.
or your roasted vegetables.
ill keep reading and reading and reading!! love the idae of the dressing on the potatoes and beets!!
I’m a HUGE fan of roasting veggies, but never thought about mixing beets and potatoes. I’m intrigued, and will definitely have to try this!
