I am trying to find a way to prepare spinach so my younger ones will eat it. I love spinach, but I eat it raw and the kids just won't. Anyone have any suggestions ? |

I try to avoid it myself, but my wife mixes spinach with cream cheese (I think) to make some kind of spinach dip. She likes it a lot. I think I've had it in salads, too, and it's as good as any other salad... as long as there's plenty of non-nutritious dressing on it. Sorry if that wasn't too helpful... Anybody want to pitch in some better ideas? |

I like it cooked with a litle balsamic vinegar and salt. If you like salt and vinegar chips you may want to give it a try. Also a nice spinach salad with the hot bacon dressing is quite tasty. SPINACH SALAD WITH HOT BACON DRESSING SALAD: Spinach enough to fill lg. single serving bowl 6 black olives, pitted 1/4 c. crumbled cooked bacon 3 sliced mushrooms 3 thin slices red onion 1/4 c. croutons 2 hard cooked onions, sliced 4 cherry tomatoes, sliced HOT BACON DRESSING: 2 slices bacon, crumbled 2 tbsp. sugar 2 tbsp. ketchup 1 tbsp. chopped onion 1 tbsp. red wine vinegar 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce Cook bacon until crisp and remove from pan with slotted spoon. Add sugar, ketchup, onion, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce to bacon grease in the pan. Bring to a boil and reduce slightly. Add bacon; pour over prepared salad and serve at once. |
