Bedtime Snack

I found a recipe for the Swiss Chard.  Start with olive oil, saute garlic and crushed red pepper.  Cut the greens into one inch strips.  Put the greens in and cover them for five minutes.  Turn it over for five more minutes, covered.

I divided it into two bowls, one for Larry and one for me.  I ate mine and his.  He doesn't like crushed red pepper or garlic.  I thought it was pretty good.  It was on my diet and didn't take long to prepare (if you don't count the time it took to grow it).  Also, it was something different. 

Swiss Chard

That pile of green leaves is Swiss chard.  I haven't eaten it, to my knowledge, but Leigh says it is good.  One seed came up, a year after we planted it.  I'm cooking it now.

I am always on the look out for a green vegetable that I like.  There aren't many, and the Atkins diet calls for lots of low-carb fiber.
