6. Greens and Mashed Potatoes. We like to wash, boil, and chop a bunch of greens and then mix them into a big pot of mashed potatoes. Kid friendly! Maybe some day my kids will wonder about where the green flecks are in those "other" mashed potatoes!
7. Fried Rice. I like to use some cooked, finely chopped greens as part of the vegetable assortment in "fried" rice. If you don't already have a tried and true recipe for fried rice, start with 3 cups of leftover, cooked brown rice and 3 cups of finely chopped vegetables, such as greens, broccoli, peas, corn, carrots, green onions, etc. Heat it all in a little bit of oil and stir in 1T of reduced sodium tamari (or soy sauce) and adjust things to your preference.
8. Greens also work in spring rolls, soups, and egg dishes, but you're on your own for those recipes!
