Links: microwaving kale chips, summery breakfasts, dips, and chard

I read in this NPR story about America's Test Kitchen that you can microwave kale chips instead of leaving the oven on forever. That said, kale pesto with lemon is a very easy and tasty way to prepare your kale, rather than making kale chips.

Food52's post on summery breakfasts makes me wish I had time for leisurely breakfasts every day.

My sister-in-law sent this link to a spinach dip recipe that she highly recommends. She writes, "I made some changes to the spinach dip - skipped the blanching and sautéed it longer; swapped the walnuts for pine nuts; didn't have dried mint so used some dried oregano instead. I think the oregano could be left out and not missed."

She also recommends this goat cheese and roasted corn guacamole from Joy the Baker.

Finally, a bunch of links of potential chard recipes. I want to try something other than a quiche this week with the bunch that came in today's box.

• Chard Oshitashi, a cold Japanese side dish. I'd skip the bonito, given my fish allergy.
• Swiss Chard Tzatziki, which probably would end up fairly similar to the spinach dip recipe above.
• Swiss Chard with Lentils and Feta. It has feta.
• Swiss Chard and Ricotta Gnudi. More cheese.
• Sauteed Swiss Chard with Raisins and Pine Nuts. Decidedly healthier than the recipes with cheese.

I'll let you know what I end up making.
