So with this recipe I FINALLY utilized the last of the enormous bag of spinach I bought. What was that? Three recipes? Four? I lost count, but in my defense when I picked up that oversized bag of greenery I was thinking at the time, “Spinach really wilts down so this bag really isn’t that…

Spinach and White Bean Stew with Red Cargo Rice
A little fresh spinach goes a long way and after utilizing it in two different recipes now, I still have enough leftovers for an additional meal. One of my favorite ways to cook, especially when I have a fridge full of stray vegetables, is to dump an array of ingredients in a Dutch oven or…
Pan Seared Pork Chop, Leftover Mash, Creamed Spinach
This recipe was a solo dinner quickie. I had Detwiler’s Farmer’s Market local pork chops and mashed potatoes in my freezer along with a large bag of scrumptious local spinach in the fridge. So I decided on a naughty dinner of old school style fried pork chops (the only way I ever ate pork chops…
Chicken Apple Sausage Pizza with Spinach
Surrounding me there are numerous orchards, farms, co-ops, and Farmer’s Markets that I gratefully visit as often as I can. For this recipe, I procured fresh, local spinach (which lasted me an entire week) and locally made chicken apple sausage from Milburn Orchards. Milburn’s is most notably known for their pick-your-own apples and berries but…
Spinach Ricotta Lasagna

Roast Red Bells and Tomato Mac N Cheese
Amy came home from Nashville, TN and raved about this amazing mac and cheese she’d had while there and so I offered to recreate it for her. The dish contained roasted red bell peppers, mushrooms and spinach. The restaurant used Campanelle which is a really pretty flower shaped pasta. I couldn’t find that near me…
Gouda Tuna Cakes
Gouda Tuna Cakes, Dill Sour Cream, Toasted Sesame Oil Baby Spinach What to do with canned tuna? Well we could go with the tired but true tuna salad sandwiches or tuna noodle casserole or we could take a moment longer and think, “How could I make something new outta’ something old?” What I came up…
