Does anyone have any recipes that include or feature spinach? For medical reason I need to eat more of it and it does me a lot of good. A local Mexican resturaunt has spinach fajitas that are to die for but it also has a lot of sour cream and cheese, which I don't need, and anyway, it gets a little pricey if I indulge more than once a week.

Anyone? Anyone? TIA!

The recipes you can find on the internet.  My personal favorites:

Sauteed spinach

Spinach dip

Spinach quiche

Spinach omelette

Spinach/egg/olive salad

Look up San Francisco Joe or Joe’s Special.  I made it regularly when my sons were growing up.

As you note:  you can pick up too many calories while trying to increase a special vitamin intake.  I can't eat a lot of raw green leafy things, so I supplement...........with a supplement.  Ask your medical person to suggest an over the counter vitamin that will meet your needs (just my suggestion)

If I had to eat spinach, I'd opt for a daily fruit smoothie with a big handful of spinach.  It's a painless way to get it down.

Last week I made a pot of hamburger soup with a bag of frozen mixed vegetables and at the end put in a small bag of fresh spinach leaves.  They cook down quickly.

One of my specials also!  Love it with sausage.  I have posted it on Recipes a couple of times.  Not that pretty on a plate but, oh, so yummy!

I like fresh spinach with blueberries and sliced strawberries. It is also good mixed with other greens except kale, I do not like the taste.

My mother-in-law calls it spinach pie, although it's not a pie at all.  It's more like a frittata but done on the stove top not baked.

Box of frozen spinach, thawed and wrung out

4-6 beaten eggs

handful of grated parmesan cheese

salt and pepper to taste

Mix it all together, heat about a tablespoon of oil in an 8 inch non-stick pan.  Cook it on the one side, once that side is set, slide it out onto a plate to be able to flip it and cook it on the other side until the eggs are set.

I cut it into wedges and usually have it for lunch - my husband doesn't like it, so it's mine all mine!
