We picked up our first CSA box on Monday, and it was filled with lots of greens including broccoli greens. The broccoli greens have a mild broccoli flavor, and we found them quite delicious when cooked with brown butter and served with baked chicken.

Asian Black Beans and Rice
Posted in Gluten Free
I had put brown rice in the rice cooker earlier in the day, but I had forgotten to get out the protein (chicken) from the freezer. Supper time was almost upon us, so I needed to do some quick thinking on what we were going to have. While I’m trying to get in the habit of using dried beans more often, I admit that I still keep canned beans on hand. They’re quick and easy.

I had two beautiful organic sweet potatoes sitting on the counter just waiting to be used. I also had some lovely organic bell peppers and sweet onions to add to the mix. Since I needed a quick meal that night, I decided to turn the sweet potato hash into Mexican sweet potato bowls and topped the hash with cheese, red sauce, and some…
