Please pass the hamburger…errrr….I mean the Swiss Chard
As you may know, I joined a CSA (community supported agriculture) so it’s probably only a matter of time before I start wearing pachouli. Since I don’t get to choose what goes into our veggie box it’s always interesting to see what each week will bring. This may sound inconvenient or even scary for some but it works for us. The great thing about being a part of a CSA besides getting the crazy fresh organic produce is that it forces me to try new things and get creative (or go online in search of recipes.) Lately there has been a bunch of swiss chard something I wouldn’t normally buy because I don’t trust that something called chard could taste remotely good…even with “Swiss“ tacked on the front. Normally, I stick to things like broccoli, green beans, red peppers, onions, asparagus, lettuce, and spinach so the swiss chard seemed a bit on the exotic side. After some searching around on google I decided to try this swiss chard recipe. It was simple, super quick, and even tasty enough for my picky 9 year old. Like most things green, swiss chard is really good for you too.

Regarding my New Year’s resolutions, I’d like to say I almost caved and ate a burger today but my plan of self-destruction was thwarted…well…I had a few fries.
One last thing. Sorry about the random playlist “place holder” post that accidently went out to some of you subscribers. We switched the domain over to girl-heroes.com and have been having some issues with the subscriber list. Hopefully all the kinks will be ironed out soon.

This is my (almost) sane quest for insane health. Let's 
I joined a CSA as well a little while ago, and I love the surprise I get in each box. It really makes me try new things and rediscover “forgotten” veggies.
Andrea, that’s a good way to look at it a “surprise” like a surprise gift! Hugs!
You’ll have to ask Grandpa how he likes it. He always planted a row. Even though I planted it for him when I had the garden I still never cooked it up for myself to try.
Jess, did you eat any of the vegetable you grew? 😉 Love you little sista!
just found your blog through janetha’s! i live in CA too :). awesome that you joined a CSA, if i lived with more people i would join one too, but for now i’ll just keep hitting up the farmer’s market which is perfectly fine by me! enjoy the produce you get, hope some interesting ones come your way
Hi Stef! Yeah the CSA works out well since I have a family of four. Sometimes we miss the farmers market because we get to pick what we want!!! Both are great options!!! Thanks for stopping by. I’m off to check out your blog.
