What Can I Make With Fresh Spinach
I really hadn’t given spinach a lot of thought, that is, until recently when I went on a low-carb diet. In order to limit my carbohydrate intake, I eliminated breads and pastas from my “okay to eat” list. In doing so, I eliminated a substantial amount of iron in my diet as well, because most breads and pastas are fortified with vitamins and iron. About two weeks into my diet I started craving spinach. Why? Spinach is one of the best sources for iron. And now because of my spinach cravings, I have a refrigerator full of bags of fresh spinach waiting to be eaten.
My spinach recipe repertoire is limited. I make a nice fresh spinach salad with a little cucumber and diced onion topped with a light dressing. I also make a side dish of spinach cooked in a skillet just until it wilts, with a little onion, garlic and a splash of chicken broth added. But, aside from these generic recipes, I don’t know how I can utilize all my spinach in new and interesting recipes. I’d love to be able to use up a whole bag in a nice, big pot of soup or a real full-meal “comfort casserole”.
Are there some really exciting recipes out there that will use up large quantities of fresh spinach and satisfy my new craving for spinach? If the ideas are low-carb, then even better.

I’m not so fond of spinach. My spinach recipe repertoire is limited as well. I just use it to make salads. But ChefJenny’s recipe seems delicious. I’ll certainly try it.

I love to cook a mess of spinach in pan..put in blender first yo. Then add a tiny few pieces of bacon and some onions if you like. Then when it’s soft, add abit of salt and there ya go! It’s comfort food to me cause it reminds me of my grandmother who loved to cook this for us kids.
