I love love love this recipe! I was looking around a while ago for recipes with swiss chard (I had an abundance and was getting sick of it!) and came across this. I was not sure of how it would turn out, but holy moly, it was awesome! I am making it tonight because I've been craving it for weeks! - 10/19/09
