Audrey and Christie - Question of the Week -Are you getting your Greens and how do you like to use them?

[Guest guest]

Audrey and Christie,

When you buy those large bags of greens, steam them in a little oil and sliced

garlic. They really reduce down a lot when cooked, especially spinach. I

cook a 1 lb bag(huge bag) of spinach this way and it is hardly enough for 3

servings. We love it this way too. Also throw into smoothies. Also you can

use the steamed spinach to make a delicious artichoke spinach dip. It is so

good.

I go through spurts, eat a lot of spinach one week, don't touch it for 2,

etc. Mainly, the problem is like Christie, I have to buy so much of it --

even a bag of baby spinach for salad sometimes goes slimy before I can eat

it all.

Mmmmm... artichoke spinach dip, great idea! I'm going to have to play with a

recipe for that. I had the best artichoke spinach dip ever at a brewery in

Omaha a couple of weeks ago. It had mayonnaise in it as well as cream

cheese, and some different spices I'll have to figure out. They served it

with big wedges of toasted dark rye bread and lots of parmesan cheese. Good

stuff!!
