Ingredient of the week: Swiss Chard

One of my personal goals is to try veggies that I've never had and to figure out how to make things that I thought I didn't like in a way that I do like.  I'm doing this because I want to broaden my palette, which will also enable me to eat in-season for effectively.  To that end, every few weeks I'm choosing one of these items to try.

This past week I chose a recipe that used swiss chard. The dinner I had with it was fabulous and I felt really good eating it.  This meal hit 2 of my goals: using a new veggie and shifting to brown rice (better for me when it's not simply plain).
