    Yep. Freeze and use in smoothie. Just add a banana top it and the smoothie will be just right.

    Spinach in salads

    Eggs Florentine.

    Spinach Artichoke dip (with the non-fat cheeses)

    On sandwiches instead of lettuce

    Pesto (Basil + Spinach, arugula is good for this too)

    just google spinach recipes and have fun!

    Ditto! I've been trying to find things to do with cottage cheese other than just eat it out of the tub and this sounds delicious!

    I combine it with ricotta cheese when I make stuffed shells, baked ziti, lasagna, etc. Another thing I do a lot is use it in echilladas.

    Bumping to read recipes later.

    If no one has suggested it, get a big "Green Box" to keep spinach fresh. I've had mine for a while and they work great, but I don't know if they're hard to find now?

    I put a paper towel in the bottom and empty a big container of fresh spinach into it. It keeps it fresh for weeks.

    I like to saute it with a little garlic and then sprinkle lemon juice and ground cayenne on it. The whole bag cooks down pretty small and it's super tasty, especially with chapati.

    I put spinach in lasagna. It's a great way to add some color and some vegetables- and you honestly can't even taste it! (good for kids...) I recommend frozen because it cooks up better, but I've made it with fresh before and it tastes great too. Just be prepared for the first couple pieces of lasagna to leave a bit of a puddle in your lasagna pan from the water cooking out. Again, no real taste difference, and after those first couple pieces (and scooping out the water) I had no problems with it.
