55 Best Jittery Green Recipes

October 21, 2015 By Jittery Cook 8 Comments

When my mom moved to Canada at age 4, from an inhospitable Poland, people called her a “greenhorn,” a person ignorant of the language and culture. She made it her business to fit in and become a proud Canadian. When she was just 17, she married my dad and entered a world of fresh fruits and vegetables. They were wholesalers, peddlers of the freshest, most colorful produce they could find. Dad ran the business and brought home a cornucopia of samples every week. Mom, appreciative with every cut of her knife, transformed those bright specimens into memories I still cherish.

Have you filled up on something bright lately? How green was it?

Final notes:

  • Green is my favourite colour,  but I’ve been jittery — Make that “fickle.” I flirted with red for a while, got hooked on pink but pretty much stuck to black in my apparel. When it comes to food, though, green remains my top choice.
  • Try one, two or 55 of my Best Green Jittery Recipes – assembled in loving memory of my dad, who passed away last July at the ripe, old age of 92. Maybe all those greens kept him going?

      Thanks Erna! Today we have a memorial service for my dad at the residence where he received excellent care. It feels good to reminisce.

      Thanks for stopping by Kim. My dad was the ultimate healthy foodie. He left a legacy of food loving kids and grandkids. Him and my mom appreciated the Jittery Cook food blogging.
