Hi Guys it’s me again, I have been on a Spinach kick lately. Sometimes this happens when your body is craving a mineral or vitamin it is lacking. We really need to listen to our bodies when this occurs. So me, I am listening. My brother David visited last week and of course I had the chance to cook for him twice. Once because it was his birthday and he wanted peanut butter cookies. Me being the great sister I am, had cookies baked and on a plate in front of him before he finished his first cup of coffee. Now, you better believe I fussed when he left and didn’t take the cookies with him. I reminded him later I was working on my weight like he was. OK back to spinach. For me it is a rekindled love affair. I am not really a fan of it raw but love to sautee it and add something to it. Here’s what I did for us: Spinach and Seafood Sautee tablespoon of butter in a hot pan add in mushrooms, onions, garlic and simmer for about 10 minutes over low heat. I added in 2 pieces of salmon and about 10 shrimp and let it simmer on low for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Added in a bag of spinach and simmered until the spinach was cooked (a dark green usually bout 5 – 10 minutes. You’re looking at a good 30-45 minutes to the table. And don’t forget seasoning. Me personally I used some curry, berbere, garlic, cumin, you get the idea. Spinach has plenty of sodium so you don’t need to add more. Try it or something different and tell me what you think. And for those who don’t do seafood, try it with Chicken, Beef, Turkey. Try some shredded carrots, string beans, okra. You get the picture. Think outside the box. Now for the informative part, here are the stats on Spinach. Maybe next time we can have a salad with the raw spinach? Or a veggie patty? I pulled this information from a web page because it was easier than typing the info from the bag. Here’s where I got it from for raw spinach: nutritiondata.self The good: Spinach is low in Saturated Fat, and very low in Cholesterol. It is also a good source of Niacin and Zinc, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol), Vitamin K, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Vitamin B6, Folate, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Copper and Manganese.
