Spinach Week - Menu Plan Monday

I keep pulling out more and more spinach recipes and actually making them, one after another and most happily eating them.  I decided to check and see just how many recipes, I had recently made and this is what I discovered.

 Cheesy Pasta and Spinach

 Pasta with Mushrooms and Spinach

 Spinach Impossible Pie

 Spinach and Ricotta Bake

Coming Up:

 Spinach and Cheese Strata with Tomato and Feta Salad 

 Quick Sausage, White Bean and Spinach Stew with Greek Potatoes

 Hot Spinach Salad

 Spinach Mac and Cheese

 Spinach and Tomato Pizza

 My one word to all of this is:  Yes!

 I am not pretending that this is a well balanced diet although, I have never heard of too much spinach and it is the green veggie in our meals.  I don't care.  Others overdose on chocolate and cheesecake (count me in on chocolate).  I am overdosing on spinach.  Join me and try some of these recipes.  They were yummy.

Sunday - Spinach and Cheese Strata

 Monday - Spinach, Potatoes, Cheese and Baked Eggs

 Tuesday - Sausage, White Bean and Spinach Stew

 Wednesday - Spinach Mac and Cheese

 Thursday - Indian Spiced Meat Loaf

 Friday - Spinach and Rice Salad, Chicken, Potato Kugel, Apple Crisp

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
