I had beautiful ingredients: Swiss chard, garlic and jalapeno from my garden, tomatillos and yukon gold potatoes from Farmer Kim, and corn from Highland Orchards. I wanted to make a vegetarian enchilada with salsa verde. It looked good, tasted OK, but something was off. When we added pico de gallo, things improved. The filling…

Vegetable Gumbo
It is that time again…Swiss chard bouquets are adorning my counter top. Such a happy thing, they always make me smile. There is a lot of swiss shard growing in the garden. I thought I had a lot last year, but I think this year there will be more. So I need to even more…
Swiss Chard and Egg Bake
I do love making breakfast dishes for dinner, there is something very comforting to me in doing that. I think also that it enables me to relax and make breakfast dishes that take longer than I am willing to take in the morning – I wake up really hungry every day, and waiting an hour…
Broccoli & Swiss Chard Quiche – A Joint Cammy & Mommy Cooking Adventure
Can you believe I am STILL harvesting rainbow chard from my planting this spring?! Any plant I did not pull has been producing new leaves all summer. Add the broccoli that I recently bought and we have the makings for a great quiche – which is a good new dish for our Top Chef, Cammy,…
Zucchini, Swiss Chard, Corn & Chicken Saffron Coucous
We happen to have an abundance of saffron in the house, and since I love what saffron does for food, I am always looking for new recipes to use it. I found a nice side dish recipe by Ina Garten for a zucchini saffron couscous. I added swiss chard, local corn, and some leftover chicken…
Swiss Chard Lasagna
I never get tired of my chard bouquets. I really like the orange and pink stems of this one. It was Arielle’s birthday dinner, so I wanted to do a twist on a traditional lasagna. This is lighter than the other pesto based lasagnas I have made, and I was very happy with the outcome….
Lentil Salad with Swiss Chard
This morning I picked the second-to-last large bunch of swiss chard. There are still more bunches, but they are small second-growings of bunches we have already eaten. I am in a bit of a hurry to finish the chard so that my okra plants (which are interplanted with the chard) can get the full light…
Swiss Chard – White Bean – Tomato Ragout
Still harvesting swiss chard, but what new to do with it? I wanted something really flavorful, and different from the dishes I have already made this season. Last year I had tried a few white bean/tomato dishes that were very tasty. So when I saw a dish in Martha Rose Shulman’s Mediterranean Harvest cookbook for…
Mediterranean Swiss Chard Pilaf
I stopped at Filasky’s Produce to pick up some fill-ins that I don’t have in my garden – local spring onions, local tomatoes (mine are just flowering) and their own snow peas and strawberries. While I was there I couldn’t resist getting a cup of Woodside Farm Creamery ice cream – it is heavenly. The…
Rainbow Chard Gratin
I love greens and this is the first year I have planted any type of chard. I chose rainbow chard, a colorful form of swiss chard. I guess the weather and my soil have been perfect for it, it is coming in really strong. We have been eating it in one form or another twice…
