Those are really cute little poached eggs! Good for you for finding creative uses for all of your produce. I love sauteeing greens with garlic though haven’t tried it with chard.

Mmm perfect simple, healthy dinner. This is exactly what I’d love to have for dinner on a week night.

I received so many greens last fall, it got to be a challenge to think of ways to use them all. My fall CSA is starting up in a week or so, and I’m actually kind of looking forward to getting greens again, but maybe I’m just getting tired of zucchini right now!

I love swiss chard. It’s the plant that keeps on growing in my garden and I always get compliments on how pretty it is – so much so that I grow it in my flower border. I also love the way it tastes – as strange as this sounds, it tastes to me the way dirt would taste if it were yummy. I know – I’m a freak.

Yes, the greens can be overwhelming. I got more than my fair share of bok choy this year. Which was fine the first week and the second…but the seventh? Ugh, I never want to see bok choy again.

This looks like a great simple meal with the eggs!

I love wilted greens of any kind. And to pair them up with crusty bread and egg? That sound simply delicious.

Allison above me asked about how you keep carrots fresh for so long…what I do is I peel and keep them submerged in fresh water in a snaplock container in the refrigerator. I change out the water every few days. They stay really crispy that way. I do it for celery too.

I made chard tonight too – but with carrots and orzo. How do you keep your carrots fresh so long? Mine always get floppy.

I love that you added an egg to this, I should have done that too.

I love eggs with greens, often doing something similar with kale or spinach. It’s true though, chard can be bitter, as my husband is also eager to point out to me. I like the idea of smoked paprika and sundried tomatoes to counter some of that.

I am not an egg fan. Sometimes I can do egg white omelettes but not very often. Great presentation!

That’s such an interesting way to eat eggs. I like that you are using chard.
