sneaky healthy greens

Swiss chard is my new stealth vegetable.

Admit it--you haven't heard of it, it looks weird, and how the hell are you supposed to cook it? Well, it's excellent chopped up and hidden in other things. I threw a whole handful in yesterday's black bean soup and it wasn't even noticeable.

I feel stupid even posting a recipe for this, it was so easy.

Gnocchi with Pesto and Chard

Cook one package of potato gnocchi according to label directions. Wash and chop a big handful of chard and saute with some minced garlic in olive oil until soft. Drain gnocchi and toss with chard and a hefty spoonful of prepared pesto.
