Vegetarian recipes can sound bland, but this one sure doesn&#8217;t! And if you&#8217;re not a chard fan, you can substitute it with spinach or kale.That&#8217;s the beauty of most vegetarian recipes.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8640\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8640\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/rooey\/4919326955\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8640 \" title=\"Chard Stew\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northstarmoving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Chard-Stew.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8640\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vegetarian Recipes: Chard and White Bean Stew (Photo by Rooey202)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 style=\"color: #008000;\">Sweet Potato and Marshmallow Biscuits<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/smittenkitchen.com\/2011\/11\/sweet-potato-and-marshmallow-biscuits\/#more-7968\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">These biscuits<\/a> sound too good to be true.
