Green Rice

Toddlers are notoriously picky eaters. Mine is no exception. Well, with the exception that collard greens are his favorite vegetable. In fact, they are about the only veggie he'll eat. But I'm not complaining.

Look at that nutritional data.

Vitamin A, C, K (wow!), folate and calcium! It's a beautiful thing.

So, give this recipe a try and let me know if it works for you.
