It’s been a busy week. A family member was very sick, so I spent most of my week in Texas helping to provide care. What a privilege to spend precious time with family, cooking soups, organic, grass-fed meats, and sautéed leafy greens!
We all enjoyed this simple, leafy green recipe. The greens are rich in vitamin C, the butter helps the body assimilate the nutrients from the vegetables and the Celtic sea salt adds over eighty minerals. A powerhouse of nutrients in just a few bites! It’s a great dish to serve alongside roasted meat or fish, or if you really love your vegetables, a bowl of this for dinner makes for a simple and delightful vegetarian meal.
