I Dream of Spinach
Some people dream of new cars, new televisions, new clothes. I dream of spinach. Being a foodie, a healthy foodie that is, I dream of new recipes and new ways to enjoy my favorite foods. I just returned from a trip to the States, due to elderly parents with health problems. I ate lots of spinach…
I had a warm, spinach salad for one meal, with a garlic, lemon dressing and roasted garlic cloves. It was amazing. The spinach was barely sauteed and not at all wilted. I had spinach enchiladas – chopped, fresh spinach and sauteed mushrooms folded into corn tortillas, covered with tomatillo salsa and guacamole. I had a poblano pepper stuffed with spinach and mushrooms, again with tomatillo salsa.
Spinach is one of my favorite vegetables and during this very stressful visit, it gave me the energy I needed to get through a tough week. I plan on making lots of spinach dishes over the holidays and into the new year. I often add spinach to recipes, but I need to make spinach and mushrooms the center of more recipes, as it adds flavor, color and nutrition to every bite!
