Spinach and other veggies.

Sure you can stir-fry spinach! Just be aware that it wilts very quickly and will decrease in size a LOT when you cook it.

I like to wilt spinach in a frying pan with a little bit of oil and garlic and then mix it in with scrambled eggs. I usually throw in other vegetables I have in the fridge -- most go pretty well with the spinach, tomatoes and broccoli are two of my favourites.

I also use fresh spinach leaves as a base for salads instead of lettuce, or at least do a half-and-half mix.

Never actually made one, but I've had a spinach, pumpkin and ricotta frittata before and it was YUM. I imagine it would also taste good with sweet potato. (Spinach and ricotta is one of my all-time favourite flavour combinations )

Have fun experimenting!

Steamed with butter and vinegar and I'm a happy girl

I really like spinach! I like fresh spinach as the base for my salad's (when in summer!) and in my wraps. I also throw a handful in when I make smoothies - can't taste it and I feel like I am adding to my 5+ a day!

I always use my spinach to make salads. Then I am enjoying a salad but also eating a green vegetable. Spinach is also good in omelets.

Broccoli and spinach are both good in quiche. Most anything you would put on a sandwich but just substitute the spinach for the bread (even my kids eat this). Mix spinach with ground seeds, season, add egg and make a spinach "sorta" burger.

I used this recipe and substituted spinach for the broccoli, and it turned out fantastic! I've also tried it with broccoli and it tastes good that way, as well. http://www.deliciously-thin.com/easy-chicken-casserole-recipe.html

I cook it in a pan with garlic, tomatoes, mushrooms, green onions, and chili paste. Finish it off with some rice wine vinegar and then serve it with a piece of salmon on top.

I dont know if anyone mentioned this, but you can add like half a serving, or a full serving to a smoothie with fruit and you get all the nice little nutrients of spinach and you can't even taste it. I like it with eggs and olives and feta best though.

I use spinach as a salad and it tastes so good if you make an omelet with spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, coconut oil and spices (or just salt and pepper).

As you're learning, it's great with many things! Two easy sites to check out Spinach recipes are Eating Well and Cooking Light. The blog A Veggie Venture lists recipes by veggies so it makes it very easy.

Like many, loved spinach in eggs. I love tossing in some carrot slices, bell pepper, asparagus (or summer squash or zucchini), mushrooms, onions, basically whatever is on hand, then add the eggs and cook, spinach, and then some feta. This is one of the times you can use low fat feta and it doesn't taste yucky! The low fat or fat free Mexican cheese blend is awesome too. I usually will add some Cholula sauce.

If you're having salad, toss in some spinach. It works really well alone or with other baby greens or loose leaf greens. One of my favorite salads is with spinach or a mix, with apple, sunflower seeds or almond slivers, grapes, celery if you like it, dried cranberries, slices of carrot and fennel, feta or goat cheese, and sliced up chicken breast with either a vinaigrette or poppy seed dressing.

You can toss it in with any stir fry or saute, and can use it soups, pasta, great on pizza, and many more ideas I'm not thinking of now,

As for broccoli, you have to have it roasted in the oven! I'm not a big cauliflower fan but I even like that roasted too. You can just toss with olive oil and roast it (add parmesan cheese and your daughter may like it as well), or add garlic, seasonings, and perhaps other vegetables that cook around the same amount of time (I add onions and red peppers often) and roast, then toss with basil, yum! Roasting it gives it a carmelized taste that really enhances the flavor. I've actually had just a head of roasted broccoli for dinner more than once! Of course you can toss spinach in when it comes out too, LOL! Root vegetables are awesome roasted as well, just wanted to focus on spinach and comment on broccoli.

You can do so much with spinach. I use it in place of lettuce, throw it in stir fry it,, toss it in omelets, use it to make stuffed anything. I make spinach wrapped chicken. Spinach, watermelon and feta salad is awesome! Put it on pizza, use it in soups. I like spinach sauteed with garlic and bacon! :~)

Light Italian wedding soup, which cooks up really well in a crock pot!

2 cups chicken or vegetable broth (low sodium)
2 cups water
2-3 Carrots thinly sliced
2-3 cups Spinach
2/3 cup small pasta, acini di pepe pasta works best but orzo or even alphabets works well. I like to pre-cook my pasta to preserve the liquid in the pot for the soup but you can throw it in there raw and just cook it longer. In a crock pot not much liquid will be lost.

And for the meatballs you can use pre-made ones or make small ones using chicken, turkey, pork or beef. I like pork with very fine minced onion, garlic and parsley. Roll together your mix into 0.5" rounds and you can either brown them first to get rid of the grease or throw them in the pot to cook.
