I grew up with my mom insisting that eating greens everyday was important. I also grew up not really developing a taste for greens nor appreciating the sound advise. I did not hate them, but it was pushed into the "Oh-this-is-so-boring" list.  The initial months of cooking saw the rebel coming out where I even went to the extent of taking an oath of not subjecting my kids, when they come, to eating greens on a daily basis. But well few years down the line, when I now have one of my own, I find myself repeating exactly what my mom used to tell me. Hypocrite much? Oh yeah - for a good reason though. These things are really tasty - forget the nutrition part. I found that when I did not have anyone insisting the nutrition part, I actually did like them after all ;) I, of course, do not make them every single day ("cos the truth of the matter is I am lazy with a capital L,A,Z and Y), but I try to make them at least 3 times a week :)

We love Beet greens. At the risk of angering the spinach Gods, have to say that I love the velvety texture and chewiness of beet greens more so than spinach. With beets flourishing in its full glory this season, I find them abundantly bursting with full color (and flavor) with freshest and greenest looking green tops. I got a bunch of both golden and red beets and made them the very next day.
