Borscht
Root veggies, like the beets in this borscht, lend kick (think ginger, garlic and horseradish), color (beet-red and carrot-orange) and nutrition (they’re loaded with Vitamin A and potassium). So head to the cellar or market and pull out your paring knife. These root vegetable recipes came straight from Grandma's kitchen.
