Swiss Rainbow Chard with Garlic, Parmesan Shavings and Pomegranate Seeds

Yes, another side of greens for you!  Honestly I just love them so much and you cannot believe how much the greens cook down when you start with a huge pan full of raw leafy greens!

Didn't take many pics like last time because I was in the middle of timing my daughter's "how to" speech ... see pics below!  Trying to get dinner done and taking care of my poor sick girl upstairs.

I had a pot of chicken broth on the stove all day today for her to sip on with some roasted turkey on the bone thrown in for flavor hoping it would work some magic on her.  I used one ladle of the broth in these greens and I think that was the magic ingredient.  Feel free to use vegetable broth if you don't eat meat.

Here goes:
Rainbow Swiss Chard
Olive oil
Crushed garlic
Chicken broth or vegetable broth
Parmesan Cheese
Pomegranate seeds
Juice from 1/2 lemon

  • Heat up your skillet.
  • Add olive oil.
  • Saute 1-2 cloves of garlic for 30 seconds.
  • Add as much of the chard that will fit in the skillet.
  • Let wilt over medium heat.
  • Add about 4-6 ounces of broth.
  • Cook down until desired tenderness.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Sprinkle with parmesan shavings, fresh lemon juice and pomegranate seeds (I use the kind already pulled from fruit found at Trader Joe's)
That is it ... very easy!  Save this for the end of your prepping because it is so quickly done.

Getting our Greens On ...

You could serve this over pasta, quinoa or eat as is!




Seriously?  Her "how to" speech had to be about soccer right?

That ball be cold!

Happy to see someone shoveled the turf!

I swear she's smiling at me!  Yesterday morning was gorgeous!



Be Well Everyone!  
Stay warm and get those greens in to keep you feeling great!

Welcome to my Blog!

Thanks for visiting my blog ... I decided to write it as there were many concerned friends and family that needed to learn about this phase of my life - leading up to surgery on February 8th. I have now had the surgery and am recovering here at home. I love all your comments! They make me smile and I am so truly inspired by them! I can not believe how much support there is out there...it matters so much to us! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
