I wanted to start eating more leafy greens. I found this recipe in Sunset magazine and adapted it to my taste. Now I make it weekly. Ingredients:

2 slices bacon, diced |
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced |
1/2 red bell pepper, diced |
2 lbs swiss chard, leaves whole, stems and ribs removed and chopped |
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes |
salt & pepper |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large deep skillet over medium -high heat.
2. Cook bacon, stirring, until crispy, about 3 minutes.
3. Add garlic, red pepper, and chard stems and ribs and cook until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
4. Add chard leaves and pepper flakes, cover skillet, and cook until wilted, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes.
