Green vegetables are some of the most nutritious foods on the planet, packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can boost our overall health and wellbeing. From leafy chard and spinach to crunchy broccoli and green beans, there are countless ways to incorporate these superfoods into our daily diets.
However, many of us struggle to think beyond the usual steamed or sautéed options, missing out on a world of flavors and textures that green vegetables have to offer.

Most of the vegetables you will see in these healthy recipes I grow in my 300 square foot kitchen garden. My favorite vegetables to grow are green beans, spinach, eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes, and potatoes. These vegetables can produce a lot of food in a small space. Which I appreciate because I prefer to garden by the square-foot gardening method in raised garden beds.
