off the ends and cut into 2" lengths.. put in frying pan with a little water.
Added in a drained can of sliced mushrooms. Let cook at high boil 3 minutes.
Drained. Added back into pan with olive oil, some thawed edamamé. Added in fresh
flat leaf parsley leaves and rolled up some fresh basil leaves and sliced
them... Added in some leftover spaghetti.. with a very light sauce. Heated
through. Plated and added LOTS of Parmesan cheese.

July 16th
Fresh Spinach Day (I can do that!)
Fresh
Spinach Day is our opportunity to put healthier food into our diets.
Popeye
the Sailor is right. Spinach is one of the healthiest foods you can eat. It
tastes good, and there are many recipes. Many people turn up their nose to it,
without even trying it.
The
reason for eating fresh spinach, is the nutritional value is highest, when it is
fresh and uncooked.
Celebrate
this day by introducing some fresh spinach to your meals today. You could start
by mixing in some spinach into your garden salad. Your family may not even
notice, but by doing so, you are making them healthier!
Gardeners
know that spinach is easy to grow. And, it's hardy. You can plant it as soon as
the ground can be worked in the spring. Why, that's today in many parts of the
country! More on Growing
Spinach.
There
is another day that we celebrate this healthy vegetable. It's National
Spinach Day, celebrated on March 26th. We think it is great that there are
two days to celebrate this wonderful vegetable, and to encourage people to eat
healthier.
Did
You Know? V-8 Vegetable Juice is
not just tomato juice. It includes 8 vegetables. One of them is
Spinach.
