Swiss Chard

Last night I had mom and dad over for a thank you dinner for all their help with our recent move. I have a nice new kitchen and thought there was no better way to break it in then to prepare a meal for my family.
On the menu was baked lemon fish with sauteed Swiss chard and bowtie artichoke salad. It was a little something new for everyone to try.  I tried out swiss chard which is a type of green for Jack and I one night and we loved it and ate it all by ourselves. Mom and  Dad love the spinach in the vinegar so I knew they would like the swiss chard, Since Jason is not a big fan of greens I made the artichoke salad for something new for him. He had never had artichokes before. They all liked their "something new" last night. Here are the recipes of the swiss chard and the artichoke salad below.

Swiss Chard
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 bunches swiss chard, leaves removed and chopped

Heat olive oil in skillet over medium heat infuse oil with garlic. Then add the Swiss chard and saute until wilted about 2 min. Season with salt and pepper and serve hot.

This goes great with fish!
