Brooklyn has always been our fruit and veggie girl. She eats at least an apple a day and would eat an entire watermelon if we let her. Her newest obsession is Swiss Chard. Thanks to Papa Dennis, who has a flourishing fruit and veggie garden, Brooklyn is hooked on Chard. I guess it could be worse. It is actually a bit of a family tradition. Word on the street is that my Dad's grandparents used to grow Swiss Chard so he decided to plant some too. I have tried this Swiss Chard and faked a "yummy" for the sake of the kids...but man it's bitter! Brooklyn is the only one in our family that will eat it and she would prefer it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. So, every night, I steam up a portion of Swiss Chard for our sweet angel. As she will tell you (even strangers), "It's a SUPERFOOD!"
She is also quite smitten with artichokes. The other night she sat for one hour peeling and eating almost a whole artichoke until she was biting the ends off the tiniest of leaves. Artichokes are a family affair. We all love them! And, you guessed it, they are another SUPERFOOD!
