I do this one with spinach, and when I'm wanting an extra treat, I add a chopped (1/2 inch dice) orange, and/or some avocado. (They're fairly cheap this time of year.)

We also love a spinach/ pasta dish that goes something like this: In a medium to large non stick fry pan, saute a chopped onion and some sliced mushrooms in olive oil at a medium low temp. until about halfway cooked. Add some garlic powder or chopped garlic and about about a pound of chopped fresh spinach and cook til done, stirring occasionally. Stir in some pine nuts,optional, (if you can afford them!) and toss with a pound of cooked whole grain pasta such as rotini or small penne. Serve hot with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. YUM!

Yum! You can even use baby dandelion leaves like spinach. I love them, just be sure they are not flowered, they get bitter.

I always add spinach to my stuffed shells or rolled lasagna. I haven't done either in a long time, makes me hungary for the rolled lasagna :-)

Boil whole, cleaned kale for 2 minutes (this is blanching). Drain them.

Saute onions and garlic (to your taste). When done, chop

kale and add to onions, garlic, s&p. Saute another 5 minutes.

Take a bunch of spinach leaves, wash under running water, shake out excess water, put in sauce pan. (Some of the water will remain on the leaves and this is ok. ) Cook until leaves are wilted. Place in bowl, add 1-2 sliced green onions, a tsp. of sesame seed oil, 1-2 tsp soy sauce, and toasted sesame seeds. This is better if allowed to chill for a couple of hours before serving. If you don't have green onions, use a couple of TBS. of sweet onions, finely chopped. Sometime if we're hungry for this dish, I'll use frozen spinach. (we're 25+ miles to the nearest grocery store)

Yes, if you need something that has "greens" as an ingredient -I just made this "Chicken & Spinach Soup with Fresh Pesto" and it's really good. DH liked it too.

How about a spinach puff appetizer?
