Dark leafy greens, like chard, grow everywhere in the world so it’s no surprise that chard has been part of the Italian diet for centuries. Italians lovingly call them “biete da costa” (greens from the coast).
Tonight, we’ll serve chard over orzo with Marinara Sauce and speak of them “dolcemente a con amore.”
Everybody gets to play a part in dinner preparations tonight! As I’ve said on previous occasions, fajitas just taste better when everyone gets to build their own. This is an easy and delightful way for family and friends to enjoy an evening meal!
This fajita celebration will be even more special when you make your own condiments.
Want to know the best way to add vitamin B12 to your diet? Instead of supplements, try the old fashioned approach by eating foods rich in this essential vitamin.
Wild salmon will do the trick and it’s on the menu tonight! Finish your plate with steamed fresh broccoli and carrots splashed with a little lemon juice. Some delicious nutty rice will round out the textures and flavors.
Pasta Puttanesca! It’s one of the iconic pastas. Puttana is one of those words in Italian that can be substituted in many grammatical situations. As it’s used in Pasta Puttanesca, it’s like saying: “I threw a bunch of stuff together to make this spicy pasta.” We all like a spicy pasta! This one’s a favorite at my table.
