Spinach isn’t just for Popeye

If you find it a bit bland when cooked add some grated nutmeg, or any other spices you are particularly fond of.  When used as a salad, I find a bit of balsamic vinegar and olive oil sets it off perfectly, it is also great with chopped  apple  and/or sliced avocado.
If you read my blog about Sauerkraut and used it with some Spinach to make a salad you would be creating a really healthy and nutritious meal for the same price as a family sized packet of crisps
A-Z OF RECIPES
I used to work with a retired chef who had changed her career and moved into IT. I was always in awe of the lunches she made at home and bought into the office.  Money was often tight but she always managed to eat amazing meals most restaurant goers would envy.

She was the person who introduced me to the versatility of Spinach.  She explained that where possible, try and use it as a salad rather than buying lettuce.  As with Spinach you can just pop it into the freezer when passed it's 'use by date'.  
Not only is it great fresh out of the bag  but when you need a quick vegetable to go with a hot meal you can pop it in microwave (even from frozen) and hey presto with a bit of salt and pepper a great quick and easy side dish.

Spinach is also really cheap to buy and can be added to casseroles, curries and chillies.  It is one of the most versatile vegetables out there and has great nutritional value as well as being an incredible source of iron.
