Sublime Spinach

Spinach. How do I love thee? Two ways: cooked and raw Big Grin

You've gottena bad wrap, spinach, what with the e coli stuff going around. Folks are scared of you, but I know better! Bring spinach into your home, wash it lovingly and with care.

I prefer a spinach salad over any other. Especially nice with sliced strawberries, diced purple onions, walnuts and a strawberry or raspberry vinagrette. YUM!

Spinich in my alfredo sauce, please. And artichokes if you've got 'em.

Creamed spinach that tastes creamy but isn't: one thawed package of spinach and one mixed up egg microwaved and occasionally stirred until the spinach is heated through and through. Cheap, tasty, and Oh! so good for you!.

    Spinach is another good one!

    Good in a salad, cooked, or in a stew. Mmmm!

    Spinach is my favorite vegetable! It's also excellent for those with diabetes.

    One cup of frozen, prepared spinach has almost 10 grams of carbohydrates but also has 7 grams of fiber!

    I eat it almost daily and it's a great filler. Smile

    I absolutely hated spinach as a child! My father ate it from a can, boiled. Oh, awful, slimey stuff. It wasn't until I was 28 and I was eating a raw salad and saw these peculiar green things on it that were kind of tangy and someone said, oh that's baby spinach. What??? So, I like it raw. I've never been brave enough to cook it.
