In my last post, I mentioned that leafy greens are a good source of calcium. Here is my favorite leafy greens recipe.

When we lived in Chicago, there were 3 Thai restaurants within a mile of our apartment. I had to walk by all 3 on my way home after work. The smell was so intoxicating – made me crave pad thai every single day. We couldn’t afford take-out very much (sadly), so I had to learn …
