I know that you can make a great salad with spinach:


Spinach, pecans, walnuts (I candy the nuts with a bit of brown sugar) and then a touch of radish and a few apples. With a raspberry vinegarette its a good summer dish.





You can also make a spinach omlette with garlic and veggies.
In order to get my kids to eat spinach and other veggies they don't necessarily like, I chop them up really small and put them in spaghetti sauce. Spinach is great for this because it looks like fresh herbs. So do carrots.





So put spinach in your spaghetti sauce! You can't really taste it, though that might be the point.
add spinach to the cheese mixture in lasagna

I love italian wedding soup. I take fresh spinich, olive oil, and fresh chopped/minced garlic and cook them in a frying pan together until the spinich turns a deep green and kinda looks like seaweed (lol). Then I mix the spinich, some kind of stock (beef, chicken, or veggie) and either fresh or frozen meatballs in a big pan and cook for about 15-20 min until the soup is hot. Its really simple and seems to be pretty healty. I like to serve some really fresh crusty bread with mine!








And fresh shredded parm. cheese on top too!

#1 Chicken Florentine





4 boneless skinless chicken breasts


Salt and freshly ground black pepper


All-purpose flour, for dredging


6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter


2 tablespoons shallots, sliced


1 tablespoon chopped garlic


1 1/2 cups dry white wine


1 cup whipping cream


1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley


2 (10-ounce) packages frozen cut-leaf spinach, thawed, drained





Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour to coat lightly. Shake off any excess flour. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep it warm.





Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and saute until the shallots are translucent, stirring to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet, about 1 minute. Add the wine. Increase the heat to medium-high and boil until the liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the cream and boil until the sauce reduces by half, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and any accumulated juices to the sauce, and turn the chicken to coat in the sauce.


Meanwhile, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in another large skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and saute until heated through. Season the spinach, to taste, with salt and pepper. Arrange the spinach over a platter. Place the chicken atop the spinach. Pour the sauce over and serve.








#2 Ham and Spinach Hash with Fried Eggs





2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan


4 tablespoons butter, divided


8 small red potatoes


Salt and pepper


1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped


1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes


1 medium red onion, chopped


1 large ham steak, finely chopped


4 extra-large eggs


2 cups baby spinach leaves, chopped or, 1 box, 10 ounces, defrosted frozen chopped spinach, wrung dry in a kitchen towel


10 leaves fresh basil, chopped or torn, a few rounded spoonfuls of prepared store bought pesto may be substituted


2 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped


1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, a couple of generous handfuls





Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with 2 turns of the pan of extra-virgin olive oil, about 2 tablespoons, and 2 tablespoons of butter. While the pan is getting hot and the butter is melting, cut the potatoes in half and then thinly slice them, add to the hot skillet and season with salt, pepper, thyme and the crushed red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring every now and then, for about 10 minutes or, until potatoes have browned and are tender. Add the onion and the ham and continue to cook for 3 to 4 minutes


Preheat another skillet over medium high heat with 2 tablespoons of butter. Once the butter has melted and the bubbles have subsided, crack extra-large eggs into the pan, season with salt and pepper and fry to desired doneness.





While the eggs are frying, finish off the hash by adding the roughly chopped spinach and basil to the potatoes. (Defrosted frozen spinach and some pesto would be added in at the same point if using substitutions.) Toss to wilt and warm the spinach. Sprinkle the hash with tomatoes and cheese and remove from the heat. Transfer the ham and spinach hash to plates. Top each portion with a single fried egg or arrange the fried eggs evenly over the platter.








#3 Creamed Spinach





4 large bunches spinach, leaves only, well washed


2 tablespoons unsalted butter


3 tablespoons all-purpose flour


2 cups hot milk


1/2 cup heavy cream


1 teaspoon salt


1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper


2 tablespoons olive oil


2 medium onions, finely diced


1/2 cup grated anejo cheese





Heat a very large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add all the spinach with the water still clinging to its leaves, even if you have to firmly pack it in. Cover the pan tightly (weight the lid down, if necessary). Leave the spinach to cook for about 2 minutes, then turn it over so that the wilted leaves are on the top. Cover and repeat the process 2 or 3 times more, until all the spinach is nicely wilted. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature.


Squeeze the spinach dry with your hands a little at a time, squeezing as much liquid as possible from the leaves. Chop the spinach leaves coarsely and set aside.


In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour with a wooden spoon, to make a loose paste. Cook for about 2 minutes, until foamy, but do not let it brown. Remove from the heat. As soon as the paste has stopped foaming, whisk in the hot milk all at once and continue whisking until thoroughly blended. Return to the heat and stir slowly, reaching into all the corners of the pan, until the sauce comes to a simmer. Simmer for about 2 minutes, still stirring, until the sauce has thickened, then add the cream, salt, and pepper, and stir for 1 minute more. Remove the pan from the heat and stir it every minute or two while you finish the dish to prevent a skin from forming.


In the same skillet where the spinach was cooked, well dried, heat the olive oil over mediumlow heat. Add the onion and saute, stirring occasionally, for 7 to 8 minutes or until translucent. Add the cooked spinach and the white sauce to the pan and stir together over medium heat until well mixed and heated through. Finally, stir in the cheese, taste for seasoning, and transfer to a heated and covered serving dish.

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan, plus some for drizzling


1 teaspoon dried oregano, lightly crushed in the palm


1 tablespoon butter


1 pound ground chicken or turkey breast


1/2 red onion, chopped


2 cloves garlic, chopped


1 tablespoon grill seasoning, a palm full (recommended: Montreal Steak Seasoning by McCormick)


2 (10-ounce) boxes, frozen spinach, defrosted


1 cup feta crumbles


Salt and freshly ground black pepper


2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese or shredded provolone


2 jars roasted red peppers, drained


1/4 cup (10 to 12) pitted kalamata olives


1 cup arugula, coarsely chopped or shredded or 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley


1/3 seedless cucumber, thinly sliced lengthwise


Hot pepper rings or pepperoncini, optional





Heat oven to 425 degrees F.


Stretch out your dough on to a pizza stone or into a pizza pan. Pierce the dough with a fork, drizzle the dough with a touch of extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle it with oregano. Bake dough 10 minutes.





While the pizza dough bakes, heat a tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil (1 turn of the pan) in a large nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add butter to the warm oil, then the chicken or turkey. Lightly brown the meat 3 to 4 minutes, then add the chopped red onion, garlic and grill seasoning and cook 5 minutes more. Wring the defrosted spinach dry by twisting it in a clean kitchen towel over your sink. Add it to the meat, separating it with your fingers. Add in feta crumbles.





Once the pizza has cooked 10 minutes, remove dough and top evenly with meat and spinach mixture. Cover the pizza with shredded mozzarella or provolone, roasted peppers and olives. Bake pizza another 13 to 15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and crust is crisp.





Remove pizza from oven, top with chopped parsley or arugula, cucumbers and hot peppers and serve.
