Yeah, we know you already know the nutritional value of a nice bunch of fresh leafy greens. But when was the last time you added a new green to your repertoire or prepared familiar ones in a fresh way? Today, challenge yourself to whip up a festival of green flavors, using some of these tips:

• Sauté seasonal greens with garlic and pine nuts.

• Blend exotic summertime greens like mizuna or arugula into salad.

• Be sure to stock frozen spinach for sprinkling on pizzas, stuffing in omelets, or dressing up white-bean soups.

• Chop swiss chard and sprinkle over homemade Greek tzatziki.

    Saute a bunch of swiss chard in a can of coconut milk, and add a tablespoon each of cinnamon and chipotle pepper, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, and a dash of salt. Unconventional, but out of this wold delicious!

    Added chopped fresh basil from the garden to scrambled eggs, along with fresh ground sea salt and a dash of fresh ground black pepper. Served with fresh chopped tomatoes and a wedge of cheese with sliced apples. Yum! Added green to breakfast!

    This was easy because everyone in our family loves either peas or beans, turnip greens, mustard greens, okra, cucumbers, pickles sweet or dill, ect. I include them at every dinner.
