UNCLE BILL'S CREAMED YOUNG BEETS AND TOPS
Oh my, but this recipe goes back to my young years when we lived in Alberta, Canada. We grew large gardens and had many varieties of veggies. Because I was a vegetarian in those days, my mother would cook this beet recipe for me. Young beets with 6 to 8 inch beet tops are the best

UNCLE BILL'S BEETS & STRING BEANS IN A CREAM SAUCE
This is a delightful and light side dish with any dinner meal. It took me 2 attempts to come up with this delightful dish. It is also very good served on a slice of Italian or French bread. With all the fresh veggies that are in the markets now, this is a good time to make this recipe. The 30 minutes time is for boiling the beets and beans.
