Chard is a tasty veggie filled with fiber that can be cooked in many different ways. You can add it to pasta soup, stews and as a side to any dish. I grew up eating chard with beans that my mom would prepare and it was always delicious. This is why I want to share my mom's recipe with you so you can use it as a side for your family. It takes just 30 minutes and I’m sure they'll love it. Enjoy!
