Rustic Mushroom Spaghetti Squash Sauté
Here’s an earthy rendition of spaghetti squash sauté using mushrooms, spinach, garlic, and other good stuff. I begin sampling this dish way before it’s ready. The aroma of sautéing mushrooms, onions, garlic, and spinach makes my mouth water. And I certainly need to taste it while I’m salting it. A quick note on dairy: A …
Creamed Spinach {dairy-free}
If you’re a creamed spinach lover but you’re not eating dairy, no need to wonder what other dishes you’ll be able to eat. You can have this.

Wonton Meatball Soup
I’ve been craving a soup with a simple broth, some spinach, and a few tender wonton meatballs. I’ve been thinking about making this soup for months. No years. I love wonton soup. But I’ve stayed away from take-out soup for many years now. So it has come to this. And there’s no dough here. It …

Spinach Mushroom Frittata
Here’s what I’ve been eating while on the run this week. It’s fairly quick to make and it’s a recipe based on veggie leftovers. I ran around all day last Saturday, dashing in and out of the car to avoid a rainy, gloomy day, and then walked for an hour in the rain to exhaust …
Spinach Bacon Tomato Salad
I was trying out various takes on a warm spinach salad, but the weather is finally turning (warm) here. So while I usually eat spinach mixed in tarts or quiches, this salad is a nice change from the romaine and spring mixes. It’s kind of like a BLT salad (Bacon Lettuce Tomato). And it goes …
Spinach Tart
I love green food. I always have. I was the kid who liked broccoli, spinach, squash, and brussel sprouts. My perfect quick meal is sauteed spinach with onions, olive oil, cheese, and 2 eggs. Basically the filling for Spanakopita, Greek spinach pie. Here is my version of a spinach pie using an almond flour pie …
