TinaPBeana's spinach & my favorite spinach recipe

January 12th, 2007 at 02:08 am

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.

    you know what i forgot to include in my ode to spinach? spinach bites!

    preheat oven to 350.

    1 tube of crescent roll dough, opened, cut the triangles into 4 smaller triangles each.

    1 pack thawed spinach, 4 oz softened cream cheese, and 1 egg (salt, pepper, garlic & onion powder to taste). mix together. drop spoonfulls onto the cresent dough pieces, roll up as best you can, bake at 350 till the bread browns.

    tasty, fairly cheap when on sale, and impressive served for guests...

    Yummy! This sounds like something I'd like but too high in carbs for me to eat much. I do, however, make something similar without the crust. I just mix spinach, cream cheese, a couple of eggs, some artichoke hearts and some spices in a baking dish. I top it with crushed red pepper and some shredded cheese (whatever kind I want at that time) and bake at 350 til heated through. Oh my, it's lovely and although the horde eats it with chips or veggies, I just eat it with a spoon. Smile
