    These quinoa and spinach patties and really good and freeze extremely well.

    Spinach lasagna rolls are also awesome and freezer friendly.

    Spinach Turkey meatballs also great for the freezer.

    Whenever you bake something like fish or chicken you can always place them on a bed of baby spinach... Or baby spinach sautéed w onions and eggs

    Similar to what @NaturalNancy said, I like to ladle hot brothy soup on a big pile of spinach too and let it wilt.

    I like to make a casserole with 4oz of either –ground beef or ground chicken. Add can of tomato sauce, 3oz zucchini, 3oz broccoli, 3oz spinach, 1oz mozzarella. If I’m ok on sodium for the day I’ll add 1oz Feta. Brown the meat, season to taste, mix in veggies/cheese and bake for about 30 min on 350.

    These black bean and spinach quessadillas are delicious. I keep them in the freezer too for quick heat and eat meals.

    My favorite spinach recipe that I made up:

    small amount of olive oil heated in a pan
    seasonings to taste (I do onion, garlic and a little salt and pepper)
    A ton of spinach (because it cooks down to almost nothing)
    stir and cook until the spinach is wilted and cooked
    heat a tortilla in the microwave, spread low fat cream cheese on it (I use the garden vegetable and I've even used the bacon flavored)
    Spread spinach on tortilla. Roll and eat like a burrito
    (sometimes, if I have it on hand, I'll sprinkle some feta cheese on it too)


    So yummy good! :)
