Blogger Secret Ingredient - Swiss Chard

This week's BSI challenge was hosted by Waisting Duxie.  Her choice for this "battle" was Swiss Chard.  May I say, I have never had this.  I had to research the use and the taste of it.  I settled on a pasta recipe.  This veggie contains quite a bit of Vitamin K, A, and C.  Since this is so healthy, I figured I'll go healthy all way.  So I finally had a chance to make a dent in my ever present whole wheat pasta in my pantry and I had to get some bacon.  Instead of going with the regular bacon, I got turkey bacon instead.
