This recipe is an alternative to the “traditional” sautéed Swiss chard with garlic. Depending on whether you want to use the chard stems as well in the recipe (you can cut them up finely, or dice them), you may need about a quarter to half a cup of chicken stock. Start with ¼ cup and add more as needed to get the chard wilted, before adding the tomatoes and lemon juice. Serves 4 as a side dish. Enjoy!
Every ingredient has been chosen to amplify texture while also adding bold flavors. Included are green apple, roasted peanuts, and cabbage, but go ahead and add any ingredient with crunch. Recipe found on Delish.com. Serves 5-6.

Although the title says “cream”, there is nothing high fat about this soup. The creaminess comes from the farina and the puréeing of the soup. Serves 8.

This colorful stir fry comes courtesy of the New York Times. The list of ingredients in stir-fry recipes can look long, even daunting.

Read through the recipe a couple of times before you begin cooking, because once you start, you won’t have time to refer to it. Serves 4.

The recipe makes two pans so eat one tonight and freeze the other for another day. A mandolin makes short work of the preparations.
The recipe serves 4 and can be accompanied with a simple rice or couscous.
