Spinach and Quinoa Salad
The vinaigrette for one of my favorite salads has only 3 ingredients; oil, lemon juice and soy sauce. The salad part also has 3 ingredients; baby spinach, quinoa and sesame seeds. It’s so easy, but trust me, it’s all good. I usualy make this for lunch, but it could also go very well with any meat or fish. Special Instructions: Serves 4-6 Ingredients: 6 good handfuls of baby spinach 3 cups cooked quinoa 1/4 cup s…
Spinach Cheese Pasta
Pasta in a healthy green spinach sauce. From the original site: I love spinach no less than Popeye and cook it in a variety of ways. You’ve read some of my Indian recipes with spinach so far; now presenting a healthy pasta sauce with spinach as its prime ingredient. This dish should make spinach-haters too have a change of heart.
Mini Salmon Burgers over Spinach Salad
Does a healthy and quick (under 30 minutes) dinner, made primarily from what I had on hand in my pantry sound good? + That’s what this dinner was, and it was a change of pace, tasty, and approved by both husband and 5 year old as good eats. I’ve made similar patties using canned tuna, previously, so if you don’t have canned salmon on hand, try this with tuna instead… Mini Salmon Burg…
Goat Cheese Stuffed Spinach Pancakes
The idea of savory pancakes is appealing and stuffing them with goat cheese sold me. This vegetable pancake surrounds a slice of goat cheese, causing it to have a tantalizing flavor. The cheese jumps out at you when you take a bite. I love unusual recipes and for me, this combination, in this presentation was brand new. I also saw the possibilities for subbing in other vegetables and flavoring. We love this d…
How to Freeze Greens
Welcome again to Jennifer Locklin of Jane Deere! For the second in her “Techniques” series, she brings us all the info we’d need to freeze greens for future use. This swiss chard she’s working with here is just lovely.. she’s lucky enough to have grown her own, but you could of course use greens from your local farmers market or CSA box, if you’re thumb isn’t quite so green…
Spinach croquettes
I was one of those picky eater kids who would never eat vegetables. I would gag, cry, induce vomit – anything to not eat my green beans. Once, during a family vacation to Cape Cod, my uncle placed celery stalks in the shape of a cross outside my bedroom door to keep me in bed. It worked. My punishment is that I now have one of those children. The recipe I am going to give you is the only green vegetable that…
When to buy organic?
Some of us who are organic snobs would say “always”, but we all know that buying organic all the time, while honorable, is just not always feasible. If you have one of the big organic stores near you, lucky you! If not, consider alternatives such as seeking out an organic co-op, CSA, farmers market or local farm. Otherwise, you are left searching for organics that are over-priced a…
Chicken, Spinach & Rice Burritos
By using leftover chicken I was able to whip up these chicken and rice burritos in about 20 minutes (it would be even faster if I’d had leftover rice too). They are very tasty and filling. Here’s What You Need: 3/4 cup shredded chicken 1 large handful of fresh baby spinach 3 tablespoons salsa (use your favorite brand- I used La Costena, you can buy it in small cans and it’s very cheap). 1 tea…
Salmon, Spinach & Cannellini Bean Dinner
This is a favorite standby dinner because it’s fast, easy and you just can’t beat it for a healthy, fast meal. The salmon provides an excellent source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, the spinach is full of vitamins and minerals, and the beans & parsley add more to that and are just darn good! All of it’s loaded with garlic, and we all know garlic cures all! This will feed 2-3…
Chicken & Spinach Turnovers
I’m a big fan of spanokopia, the Greek dish made with Spinach and feta in phyllo dough. To turn it into a meal on the go, I add chicken to mine spin on this dish. I like make these ahead of time and freeze them, all I need to do to make a meal is pop them in the oven until they’re warm. Here’s what you’ll need 1 cup frozen spinach with all the liquid squeezed out (or use about a pound of fresh,…
