I added a little salt, pepper and butter. Never thought I could get excited about Swiss Chard, but this was great!

oh, I’m really glad I signed up for this plan! I never would have tried cooking with chard had I not. I added a little shallot and bacon (from b-fast this morning) at the beginning. Perfect side dish for pork-chops.

Am I missing something? I thought cashews weren’t paleo because they are a legume.

@Chris – You might be thinking of peanuts – they’re legumes. But cashews are definitely not.
