Notes: For my 60th birthday a few years ago I got a large raised bed planter to grow organic herbs and salad greens. I started looking for easy Swiss chard recipes. This one has been my weeknight favorite for almost 5 years now. I just add some buttered French or Italian bread slices for a quick, easy, healthy weeknight meal.
