Notes: Greens
We are in prime greens season, so that means greens with every meal! Lettuce, chard, radish greens, turnip greens, carrot greens, bok choi, spinach. They are all so good and nutritious!
I used to hate greens because I didn’t know how to use them other then making salads. They tended to wilt or get slimy in my fridge before I could eat them all up. Now I’ve figured out how to stuff greens into so many different meals. Sometimes they are hidden away in meatloaf, lasagna, or a smoothie. Other times they are sautéed and served with a protein of some sort. They wilt magically into soups and stews. Oh, and I still enjoy fresh salads with whatever toppings I can find (presently sliced radishes, olive oil, and a splash of lemon juice or balsamic vinegar).
Whatever you do, pack the greens in while you can. If you are a seasonal eater, these are the foods you will be craving six months from now!
