These tasty baked fritters are a fun way to get your veggies

Three Southern favorites come together in this tasty quick bread. For easy chopping, fold the collard leaves in half lengthwise, slice out the center stems, then stack the leaves to efficiently cut them into 1/4-inch-thick strips.

Tender Swiss chard breaks down easily in a regular blender for smoothies that need no straining. Since red chard veins can bleed color, choose green chard to keep the verdant hue. Reserve chard stems for another use.

Tiny spaetzle dumplings get a gorgeous emerald color from watercress, which is blended into the soft dough.
