Swiss chard and potatoes
December 2, 2020 • 0 comments
Swiss chard is another item people have asked about. We will sauté them and eat them as a side, add to smoothies, use in dishes like lasagne, you can even freeze them to use later (will need to sauté first them freeze in serving sizes – we will do that for smoothies lots of times if we cannot use it up). Farmer John came across a delicious recipe for chard and potatoes that was a hit in our house, and very easy!
