Do you find yourself in a vegetable rut? This time of year I find myself stuck eating the same vegetables over and over again...carrots, broccoli, Brussels sprouts. This may be a great time to pick up a bunch or two of fresh greens and change up your vegetable sides a bit. Spinach is my usual leafy green vegetable of choice, so on my most recent trip to the grocery store I decided to shake things up with some Swiss Chard. Colorful Swiss Chard Prepare your Swiss chard by rinsing the leaves well and cutting about an inch from the stems. Discard this portion of the stems. The rest of the stems are tasty. Cut the stems from the leaves and chop into 1 inch pieces. Cut the leaves into 1/2 inch widths. It's as simple as that.
