Trader Joe's Burrata and Beets
I
After eating some really good beets and burrata, I was inspired and craving the yummy pair. I heard about Trader Joe's selling Burrata. They also sell beets already steamed and peeled. I thought a nice beets and burrata salad would be tasty for dinner. The beets were excellent and sure beat trying to boil the messy beets yourself. The burrata wasn't that great. It was kind of mushy and although the taste was sort of there, it just wasn't the same as the burrata I've had at Angelini or Mozza. But I guess for Trader Joe's it was ok? Maybe cheese fans know of better places to buy burrata (hmm....maybe Surfas' cheese bar?) I definitely would make the beet salad again with the beets and greens from Traders. Add a balsamic vinagrette for dressing to top it off. Also, my new favorite apple is the breed called Honeycrisp. They sell it at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. It is super crisp, light, and watery if that makes any sense.

Whole Foods has a much better cheese section than TJ's, but for the best, go to The Beverly Hills Cheese Store (www.cheesestorebh.com)
