SPINACH!!!

THERE'S THIS CRAZY FEATURE HERE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO ACCESS THE ARCHIVES OF PAST POSTS. IT'S CALLED THE "SEARCH" FEATURE. CLICK ON THE LINK JUST ABOVE THIS THREAD. IT'S FANTASTIC!

wow!:noway:

Its so true...the number of questions posted that could have answers found with in seconds is crazy! It takes longer to type a post than search MFP or google for answers!

Why does it matter whether someone posts a question or searches for it? I believe they can use the website anyway that they want to. If you don't want to read a topic that has been posted before, then don't click on it.

Not only that... but maybe they have already searched the topic... found some recipes, but wanted to know if anyone had discovered anything new that they would like to share.

YEP. JUST POINTING IT OUT IN CASE THE OP HADN'T TRIED IT YET. :flowerforyou:

LOTS of brand new ideas come from a variety of threads... can't imagine anyone being that upset by someone asking what they do with spinach. Glad this thread was posted OP:flowerforyou: Lots of new ideas I'd never thought of before.:drinker:

WHO'S UPSET? JUST THOUGHT I'D SUGGEST THAT THERE ARE LOTS OF IDEAS IN PAST THREADS TOO, IN CASE THE OP WASN'T AWARE. DID ANYONE TELL OP THAT HE/SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE ASKED? :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Mocking other members isn't helpful plus I believe it's now listed on the new rules. Sarcasm isn't pretty either... :ohwell: I think you made your point and the OP is welcome to ask for recipes and such just as anyone else is.

Dear Posters,

I would like to take this opporunity to remind everone of the following forum guideline:

1. No Attacks or Insults and No Reciprocation

a) Do not attack, mock, or otherwise insult others. You can respectfully disagree with the message or topic, but you cannot attack the messenger. This includes attacks against the user’s spelling or command of written English, or belittling a user for posting a duplicate topic.

It is fine to point out the search feature, as the poster may not be aware of its availability, and this needs to be done in a respectful manner. Arguing back and forth on this point is really hijacking this thread and taking away from the input of the other posters that are on topic.

If you feel someone is acting in a manner that is not in line with this forum guideline, please use the Report Post feature. Please do not call them out in the thread and debate the point as to whether it was appropriate to point out the Search feature. Let the mods review a post you think is inappropriate and we'll make a determination and take action, if necessary.

With Respect,

I made this and it was AMAZING!! I am not a fan of spinach, but this was super yummy!! I don't remember the calories, but I added all the calories together for all the ingredients, then divided it by how many shells it made. I think it was right around 100 cals/shell. I bought "light" ingredients when making this dish, and I believe the recipe was even on the side of the cottage cheese.


Shells stuffed with spinach, cheese, red pepper.

1 pkg frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
1 container cottage cheese (16 ounces)
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1 red pepper, chopped
1 egg white
1 tsp dried oregano
20 jumbo pasta shells, cooked, drained, cooled (there was enough stuffing for 5- 10 more shells)
1 jar of pasta sauce

Heat oven to 400. Mix spinach, cottage cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella, red pepper, egg white, & oregano. Spread sauce onto bottom of 9x13 dish. Spoon mixture into shells and place in dish filled side up. Top with 1/2 cup mozzarella. Cover with foil. Bake 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes.

This sounds sooo goood!!!!!

Okay here you go.

Take about
2 cups of raw spinach
1 clove of choped garlic
table spoon or two of olive oil
place oil in pan. let it get nice and hot and add your garlic, and 1 minute later add your spinach.
Cook for 3 or four minutes. salt and peeper to taste.
you can add more or less garlic depending on your tastes

This is how i cook it and I love it.

why cook it when its best raw?

I puree spinach and carrots and onions and put it in meatloaf. It's YUMMY!!!

I love spinach! And I cook it pretty much the same as above. Here's a super simple recipe works for broccoli, swiss chard, and asparagus too.

Add 1TBS olive olive oil to saute pan that can be covered.
When warm add chopped fresh garlic to taste (I like garlic so I use 2 cloves, diced or minced, garlic press works great too) Heat just until fragrant not browned.
Add 2-3 cups raw fresh spinach, saute for 30 sec to 1 min (Spinach really cooks down so you can add more)
Add 1/2 to 1 cup liquid (water, wine, or low salt chicken broth) you hear the sizzle and see steam immediately, this is good.
Cover and simmer stir as needed, 2minutes or until just wilted for spinach or bright green for broccoli.
Done!

Cooking sherry works well as does any white wine that gives a fantastic flavor and all the alcohol of course is burned off. Can also add a squeeze of lemon for added variety.

Try just a spinach salad - that's my favorite way.

baby spinach, cherry or grape tomatoes, diced red onion, chopped red pepper, banana peppers, feta cheese, black pepper and either creamy garlic or caesar dressing (not a lot is needed because of the feta).

Love it.

I put fresh baby spinach under stir fry or spicy peanut thai instead of rice. The combination of textures and temperatures is fantastic!
