Looking for an easy way to get more greens in your diet? Try this simple sautéed Swiss chard recipe.
In the spectrum of greens, Swiss chard lies between spinach and kale—not as tender as spinach, not as tough as kale. But like spinach, you can easily sauté it in some olive oil in just a few minutes.
The stems can be tough. You can either remove them and discard (or boil and toss with butter), if some of the stems are tender, just sauté them first before adding the leaves, to give them more cooking time.
By the way, not only is chard packed with vitamins (vitamins K, A, and C), it also is anti-inflammatory and helps the body manage blood sugar. It’s in the same family as beets, spinach, and quinoa. Even more reasons to eat chard!
For this easy sauté we are cooking the chard in just a little olive oil with some thinly sliced garlic and red pepper flakes. We’re also including coriander seeds which taste fantastic with the chard. If you don’t have coriander, you can skip it, but if you do have it it will make this simple swiss chard dish truly special.
Gingered Stir-Fry with Shrimp and Snow Peas
This is a beautiful and eye-catching Spiralized Beet Salad with Walnuts & Cheese salad. Goat cheese and roast beets are absolutely delicious together but if you’re not a fan of goat cheese, try feta! In this case, however, I’d suggest swapping the balsamic vinaigrette for a greek salad dressing. Regardless of how you choose to enjoy it, the rich red and green tones of this salad will satisfy the taste buds of your eyes (if your eyes have taste buds – haha). You’ll see what I mean when you make this salad.
Vanilla Ice Cream With Strawberry-Rhubarb Sauce
"A perfect spring, summer, or anytime salad. Loaded with protein and fiber, but so delicious you would never guess how healthy it is! If you are making the salad ahead of time, add the dressing just before serving to keep the asparagus an attractive bright green. Leftovers keep well for a couple of days."
Opening Tuesday June 18th 1 pm - 6 pm to kick off the growing season.
Cilantro Beef Tacos
We love this pickled beet salad recipe for entertaining because its beautiful, its unique, and it only take a few mins to throw together. And the dressing is as simple as drizzling olive oil and balsamic vinegar over top of the salad and finishing with salt.
LEMON PARMESAN ASPARAGUS
A quick and easy side dish with fresh lemon juice, garlic and Parmesan goodness, made with just 5 min prep!
Old-Fashioned Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp
Bacon Broccoli Salad with Raisins and Sunflower Seeds
This salad is sweet and crunchy. Broccoli, crumbled bacon, raisins and sunflower seeds, with a smattering of onion tossed in a mayonnaise-based dressing. Delicious!
WOODBURY — Where automation once redefined farming, The Farm, 161 Chohees Tr., is bringing people back into the mix to change mindsets when it comes to food and a sense of community. Michael Berecz told Voices, “We’re expanding local agriculture to include ways for families to be involved in what we’re doing.”
The Sugar Shed, 41 Washington Rd., is open from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays through March, providing everyone the opportunity to see tree sap transformed into maple syrup.
“It’s a hidden gem in our area that has made it all around the world,” Mr. Berecz said. “There are bottles in Australia as gifts and it’s now being used as a marinade or in cocktails. It’s not just for pancakes anymore.”

Roasting sweet potatoes is even easier than boiling and mashing them. Maple syrup glaze transforms this ultra-simple dish into something sublime.
With their tender cake-like texture and generous coating of eggnog frosting they are likely to become a new favorite holiday cookie!
We love pumpkin pie, but had fresh squash in excess. So I came up with this new variation! It's good to take to potlucks, to pie or cake walks at school, or to serve as a different dessert for Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Despite its English roots, this dish has become a cherished American favorite at Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners in New York and beyond. But why save it for special occasions? Creamed onions are so delicious that you'll want to eat them year-round.
