Chard Stems!

We've already told you not to throw out beet greens or carrot tops, now add to that list the stems on your chard.  Most chard recipes call for you to cut out the stems to prep the greens, but don't toss them away!  The chard stems are delicious, and crunchy.  They make a great substitute for celery in all sorts of recipes, or you can just munch on them, with or without some delicious dip.
