I agree with TinaPBeana's opinion of spinach. It really is the almost perfect vegetable. It's high in fiber which makes it an excellent choice for diabetics and anyone else who wants more fiber in their diet. It's versatile too and so much can be done with it!
Here's my favorite way to eat frozen spinach.
Thaw some frozen spinach and squeeze the excess water out. In a skillet, heat a little olive oil, maybe a teaspoon or so. To that add some chopped garlic, a bit of chopped onion, and a handful of sliced mushrooms. When the mushrooms are tender, add the spinach and mix it all well. Let it simmer on low til the spinach is heated through then turn off the flame, add a bit of salt and pepper if you like and add some grated Parmesan or three cheese blend. Put it on your plate and eat!
That's all there is to it. It's very tasty, healthy, and frugal, especially if all the ingredients were purchased on sale.
